Just wish to remind posters that prices may not be useful to others unless you mention length of cruise and departure date.
The number one way to save money on your cruise is to choose category 9 or higher. (duh) Categories 5 through 10 all have the same size cabins, the only differences are whether you get a verandah or porthole and location.
The number two way to save money on your cruise is to sail at an unpopular time, e.g. January, September, early December.
I know these are straightforward but they have much more effect on what you pay than any discounts that may be available.
