I wish I was going. I wanted that cruise for a long time, but with all the other trips we had this fall, we just couldn't handle another one. Also, We are having company. Will have to wait for our March 19 one. We get to hit a few new islands, including Barbados.

I know what you mean about them being stingy on the suites. They will likely do what the market will bear, so if they don't sell, they will drop, but I think they will not have trouble filling just a few suites w/o a good deal.

Even I was able to endure a verandah suite, though I really would have enjoyed having a door/capsule & am looking forward to that medallion next fall. I know how you enjoy the amenities that come with the suites. The price difference is really going to be big, big, big from now on.
