Blame it on Beachfront Bargain Hunt
So I watch a lot of HGTV, and was watching a lot of Beachfront Bargain Hunt one day. I saw an episode on St. Croix, and began checking out cruises out of Baltimore which is conveniently near where our daughter and son-in-law live. My husband is not big on cruising so I must have hit him at a combination of a weak moment and a cruise sale which gave us 50% off the second person and a $100 on board credit. We booked a 12 day out of Baltimore to the Southern Caribbean on Royal Caribbean's Grandeur of the Seas. Soon after booking (with a $900 non-refundable deposit) I found out that our daughter is preggers with her first child and due December 31! She tells me this will be perfect timing actually - come to help with the baby, be exhausted and go on the cruise, then relax while they have 12 days to in her words "figure it out" then we return to give them another couple of days break! So we'll see how this plan works out. For now, I'm reading cruise reviews and tossing things I normally charge on our Southwest Credit Card onto our Royal Caribbean one to accrue additional on board credit.
