So Bama, open a mortuary with your travel agency, The ad will make its self.
"You can go with me now, or go with me later"
I like it!
A few years ago we thought about buying a small motel, and running the agency out of the same office. The ad could have read "Stay here or get out of town".
Good thing you did not buy the motel

On my first cruise I paid $900 a person for a balcony gurantee (I was a newbie, what can I say?) and thankfully we were upgraded to the highest grade balcony (on Princess- BA on the Caribe deck).
Did you try Best Price Cruises? I would be very surprised if they couldn't beat it....even if by only $20 or $30, unless the price from the cruiseline has gone up since you booked. I have tryed my damnest to find a lower fare than ones quoted from BPC on all my past cruises and have yet to do it!
Best Price Cruises was the one that came close but they were $100 more in the end. SmartCruiser:
Total Fare:
$2483.00 USD
Total Taxes/Fees:
$220.56 USD
Total Fuel Surcharge:
$154.00 USD
Total:
$2857.56 USD
Best Price Cruises:
Subtotal: $2,548.29 $220.56 $154.00
Grand Total: $2,922.85 USD

For the Dawn sailing I'm looking at, their rate is $200 less than BPC (which is already hundreds less than anywhere else). How has your experience been with them???

They were awesome for our last cruise and so far this one has been fine. They had an AMAZING deal when we booked last time. I honestly thought it was a mistake and expected them to call and cancel the booking.
We went on the NCL Sun for 7 days, Western Car (not my favorite but anywhere is better than Buffalo in January) ...we had two inside rooms and one balcony room. Our grand total for Seven people: $3450 !!!
