Actually, I went back and looked at RSSC cruise material for '05, '06, and '07. I too first thought there had been a drastic price increase for '07. What I found instead was that regular brochure prices had risen rather steadily in those years, but had been offset a bit more by deeper discounts on some speicals in the past. But there are still some decent specials for '07 that are worth a look. And the Paul Gauguin remains a relative bargain. But IMO this has been a matter of gradual price increases that finally "got our attention."
Thanks,
Richard
