Comparative analysis of what is typically included in your price when conducting a meeting on a ship versus land venue. 

Special Note on Occupancy: Cruise lines are structured to have double occupancy in each stateroom. Typically, they impose a single supplement for those traveling as a single in a cabin. That can be fairly costly. We encourage you to consider double occupancy if budget is a major consideration in your event.
