Funny thing is that some cruisers are complaining cruise fares are staying high and are asking, in light of many of your questions, why aren't they dropping more. We're not cruising in the Med this year after a string of three cruises in that region over the past four years but it was driven by us and our friends who cruise with us wanting to take a more laid back cruise. The ISIS situation had no impact on our decision but it may on others. We'll be in the Caribbean and are aware of the Zika virus but will take precautions and none of the couples are of child bearing age or have other health concerns. Have to say our Caibbean cruise was apparently selling slowly and the line kicked in some incentives like a substantial on board credit to fill up the ship. Anyhow, fares in high competition destinations like the Caribbean and Alaska with literally dozens of choices any given week may be down this year. Hard to point at exactly why other than to say it's probably a lot of things.
