In a time of high inflation and stretched budgets, cruises reign supreme. Since most packages are pretty all-inclusive, you can pay for a week or more on a ship and then not spend another dime until you return.
I definitely had value in mind when I booked my recent 12-day cruise on the Holland America Line Rotterdam from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, to the Panama Canal. I selected an interior cabin, the most economical option on the ship.
I booked directly with Holland America Line and paid $849 plus $460 for taxes, fees, and port charges — about $109 a day. The rate came with a $25 onboard credit and didn't include gratuities or add-ons like drink packages, specialty dining, WiFi, or excursions.
Overall, my room was one of the best values of the trip. Here's what it was like.
