OK here it is... the final cost per couple for the whole trip (of course excluding airfare and spending money). $4,255 per couple for whole 11 day cruise and $3,400 for our 7 day cruise couple. Since we've got both boats full we have the maximum financial benefit for each couple, yeah... more money to spend on swimsuits :-)
The deposit schedule above shows that we will have sufficient funds to pay the deposits on the boat as they become due and have all the money we need for the trip (provisions, etc.) by September, after that each couple can focus on saving extra fun money. I believe that I have everyone shown at what they've deposited... please let me know if I have made any mistakes. For the couples that have joined us since our last meeting, you will need to catch up in March with a $1,300 deposit and then you'll be on the regular $500 per month schedule. I know that Ed and Andrea have already given Todd a check for $1,000 so (since their total expense is less for 7 days) they're next deposit ($500) will be due in April.
We believe that we have sufficiently accounted for all expenses to be incurred on the trip and may possibly have some left over... the only caveat is this: If we end up needing a captain for one of the boats (unlikely, but possible) then the cost will be spread among all couples and will be approximately $200 - $250 per couple.
That's it, please post comments if you have questions or concerns.
