When my children were young, I drove a VW station wagon with a multicolored bumper sticker that read, "Where have all the hippies gone?" It took me a while but I finally have the answer: The hippies have gone cruising.
My partner and I were fortunate to get a spot on the Flower Power Cruise, a '60s-musical-themed experience, when cancellations gave those on the waitlist the opportunity to secure a cabin on the sold-out cruise. StarVista Live, the company that organizes the Flower Power Cruise, chartered an entire Celebrity Summit ship for the event.
In total, we spent $4,648 for seven nights in an interior cabin booked directly with StarVista. At first, the amount we paid for this charter cruise seemed like way too much. But the price included our meals, assorted non-alcoholic beverages, port charges, taxes, gratuities, and all of the concerts and scheduled events.
Here are 10 things about the cruise that surprised me the most.
