Hi,
My family just suffered the tragic loss of my mother. In the middle of this, we have a DCL cruise booked for November 30 with final payment (and cancellation window) due August 31. We have been talking about if we still want to go on the cruise or not. Our cruising party was always me, my husband, my 10 year old son and my mom and dad, both in their early 60's. With the passing of my mom, this leaves just four of us. This would've been our 4th DCL cruise. Now in trying to decide what to do, we have been going back and forth but the real kicker came when it dawned on me that if my dad still went, he would have to pay the same price for the room as if my mom were there. And if we moved my son to his room (we have adjoining rooms, so it doesn't matter either way), it would actually cost us $900 more since he would be charged as an adult! I understand the need for the double occupancy in the cabins, but this really hurts at this point and I'm not sure what to think. We all thought we might still go, as hard as it would be, as she would've wanted us to but after analyzing, I just don't know. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks.
