I'm really sorry this is screwing you up. I'd feel the same way.
But I am breathing a sigh of relief in that we may be getting a handle on these outrageous prices. Gosh I sure hope so. Between my first RSSC cruise and my second, I had to save 2 and a half years. Between number 2 and number 3 (coming this August) I had to save over 3 and a half years. At that rate my next RSSC cruise will be late 2013 and that just bums me out.
