Cleaning out your file cabinet can be very educational.  I just found an invoice from our 2nd cruise back in 1987  ( I know I&#39;m a packrat when it comes to cruise information)- We sailed on the Homeric from NY to Bermuda - 7 day cruise in an oceanview cabin on the lowest deck possible.  According to the invoice we paid &#036;2654 for the 2 of us.   Last August we sailed for 9 days on Explorer of the Seas in a Balcony Cabin and paid &#036;2106.   2 more days, a much better cabin with balcony  and over &#036;500 cheaper than 21 years ago.   I think I just may have to save Jim some more money and book another cruise right away.   lol
