I too work on �100 per person per night.
I was looking at MSC which seems to get very Marmite reviews.
I�ve cruised the huge cruise ships before but OH only the smaller ones .
So I picked one of their biggest with lots of fun stuff like proper water slides MSC Seaside
For 7 nights ocean view (which I prefer , I find I spend too much time in the cabin with a balcony

) full drinks package included (MSC do a cheaper one with less alcohol choices but I do like cocktails on a cruise) and also gratuities included (not sure about WiFi) �1500 so a whisker above the �100pp pd but with the extras already included. Fifty pound total deposit was an added bonus (and the nice lady on the phone at Hays knocked off �100 too with very little prompting.
I have a big birthday on board too.
