[size=medium]Well, you're a young and new cruiser. If you loved Carnival, you might have to step up your wardrobe a bit if you indeed to book Celebrity. If you can afford it. The brochure rates (I took several brochures for 08/09 when I was on board Constellation in Jan) are historically known to be about 2x what you will actually pay. Imagine my shock to find the brochure rate is actually 50% of what they are charging for the 08/09 cruises. The rates skyrocketed.If any of you out there have a hard copy brochure, try to book the same cruise at celebrity.com and see the enormous price increase. I would think they have to honor their brochure price, but guess not! Cie la vie. In my humble opinion, RCCL has made some grave errors with their long term marketing strategeis. Cruise lines come and go....Celebrity may fall from grace in the next decade. Glad I got to sail them when they were the best[/size]
