Hi all, The price tag did come down since it's $45 a person when all is said and done. If it was the prices I mentioned last night, that was still not including the service charge and taxes so it would have been probably $10 higher. I know it's still expensive. Let me know what you all think. Is Sunday morning or evening good for anyone? I know PW mentioned whenever would be OK with him. Thanks!
