Carnival celebration

Sail date is September

Balcony room

My current cruise booked rate is $1700 I paid my deposit and the promotion I am on doesnt require the rest of the payment until August

They currently have a promotion for the same cruise and dates and the price is $1500. I already paid the deposit so I would have to pay the remainder $1200 next monday if I switch to this promotion.

I am thinking of switching since its a few hundred cheaper. My sister on the other hand thinks I need to stick with the current promotion I have.

Which would you pick?

There’s a lot of social talk around “the man is supposed to pay for everything.” My man mainly pays for everything; it’s 60/40. He doesn’t ask me to pay, but I want to. He paid for our last vacation, so I told him I’ll pay for the hotel (since we are driving) on our next vacay to Atlanta in two weeks.

My love language is also gift-giving, so I like to buy my man meaningful things sometimes. My sister hates this dynamic. She says a man is supposed to pay for everything, and men are supposed to get little things. If you know who Sprinkle Sprinkle is, that’s my sister’s thought process. Men, do you like when your woman pays for things sometimes? It’s not about the money; it’s the thought that counts for me

EDIT: to add we dont live together so he doesn't pay my bills. He just mainly pays for our dinners/mini surprises here and there/my hair,nails etc sometimes/some vacations. I do small things for him also in addition to paying for some vacays.

Visted NOLA for the 1st time this past weekend. I went to the French Quarter outside market. I seen the same pink sun dress at 4 different stands and they all wanted $60. The lowest was $45. I am now googling if i can find the dress online for cheaper 🤣. Rare chance I will find it, I know!
