Bette, the cruise our group is taking is the 12/6 Whisper, at a 50% discount. With a good travel agent and shipboard credit, this is a very, very good deal. I mentioned the substantial difference between RSSC and SS in my post about changing from RSSC to SS. The savings in a Single Occupancy VISTA cabin is about $700. I have cruised on SS twice, the last time on the Whisper and I can attest to the luxury service and cabin, and food! Class all the way! Of course RSSC is a great experience as well, but usually SS is beyond my price range, and with these 50% off savings it isn't. The ship is about half the size of the Voyager.
