Just checked, 12/5 still $449, plus port fees.
Vic,
Two great choices here.
Either 12/5 or 2/14. Very, very nice ship. The balcony rooms are sweet.
Best part about RC and balconies regarding smoking (from their site):
it is permitted on private ocean view balconies of balcony/suite staterooms.
I know you are an attorney but please don't read the next couple of sentences where it states:
Pipe & cigar smoking is only permitted within the Cigar lounge.
I can't read that far down.
Not like they can stop the ship for me.
