Sorry, I couldn’t follow the link you provided. Sometimes air fare is included as part of the total vacation price, and sometimes it is not. You need to be absolutely sure about this before you book, because if the air is not included, that is a rather large extra cost,

ou need to book separately! I am not bashing Priceline, but I always suggest that people use a local travel agent who books a lot of cruises. It costs nothing to use a travel agent, and you have the benefit of a real person who can answer all your questions and help you find and book the cruise that best meets your budget and your expectations. A travel agent can also explain the pros and cons of having your air handled through the cruise line, whether it would be good to fly down a day early (and help you get the hotel reservation), advise you about transfers, and have several excellent choices of travel insurance. I am not a travel agent, but mine always does a great job for me.
