Norwegian’s often first with innovations and this month brings another one: A new twist on an all-inclusive cruise package.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s available on all Norwegian<\/a> ships but Pride of America<\/a> in 2015, but bookings must be made by August 29. Also excluded are European and United Kingdom cruises.<\/p>\n

The cruise line is quick to point out that its all-inclusive package delivers more than $2,400 in value, per stateroom. Everything from signature dining every night, alcoholic\u00a0<\/span>\"NCL<\/a>beverages, unlimited soda, Internet access (250 minutes), shore excursion credits, gratuities\u2026<\/p>\n

It applies on cruises of three to 14 days.<\/p>\n

The cost is $899.<\/p>\n

What the cruise line didn’t make clear in the announcement was whether that’s $899 per stateroom or $899 per person. There was no mention of “per person” and the benefits of $2,400 were “per stateroom.” Logical that the cost would also be “per stateroom.”<\/p>\n

Not so fast.<\/p>\n

A little digging on Norwegian’s website produced the only line that gives it all away: “save up to $600.” So do the math \u2014 $2,400 in benefits per stateroom minus $1,800 per stateroom in charges\u2026<\/p>\n

Once again, if something seems too good to be true, it usually is.<\/p>\n
