Cruise deals, Ireland and airfare wars

A cruise is something I've never done. But it is something I will do someday when timing is right. I hope when the time comes that I will come across a sweet deal like this:

7-night St. Maarten, St. Thomas, etc. cruise for just $299

Here's another Bahamas cruise deal that is 7-days, $500 plus an upgrade for just $349.

There is also an awesome deal found on Travelzoo to Ireland for only $699 that includes all of the following:

• Roundtrip airfare to Dublin from New York City; Boston +$20; Chicago +$100
• One night at the 4-star Croke Park Hotel, Dublin

Can I Dream?

Allow me to dream for a moment.
This ship, adequately titled "Disney Dream", recently launched

I will dream of my Disney Cruise vacation from afar. . .
