So
exc, did you book and cruise?
I have to agree with vacationstogo 90-day ticker search, then comparing those rates on cruisecompete, and then taking it one step further by checking with two Flyertalk members (
ak333 or
BurBunny) who are agents to see if the rates can be beat or matched.

I then found an online discount voucher for repeat guests, which I was, for $200 off "per cabin". My US travel agent managed to apply the discount retrospectively but had to withdraw the $20 o.b.c. offer because the fare before taxes, upon which his commission was based, was now just $16!
I was upgraded to an outside cabin, paid for all-inclusive and never looked back.
timmillea, I was on the the same sailing. I got an unobstructed oceanview with $200 OBC for $617 total as a single. One of my dinner tablemates had use for my OBC, so my overall cost was actually a little less.
That was my second TATL and I loved it.
