My wife and I always book our cruises 1 year in advance, while we are driving home from one we are on the phone booking the next. We are sailing on the Conquest in March 2004 and the Legend in March 2005 (already booked). The reason we do this is to make sure we get the cabin we want (cat 12), and something to look for as we save and pay Uncle Sam his due. We make our finial payment on the day or a couple of days before it is due and our TA always makes sure we have any and all discounts or specials taken off before than. For us it is worth it.
