Does that $379pp - $399pp include taxes and port charges? (Already with the $399pp, the price is out of the $700 range by $100! With tax and port, it will probably go to at least $900/couple.) Let's not even get into mandatory gratutities, drinks, or shore excursions!
Advice: As has been already posted, check out some of the discount cruise sites; also, try checking out some of the cruise discussion boards.
