If you belong to a warehouse club (e.g., Costco, BJ's, etc) you might see what they offer. I booked that way for my first cruise (solo) which will be this Dec. (Miami --> Bahamas on RCI). It didn't really make a difference in price or extras for me, but I got a free gift card to the club out of it and I got advice from the travel agent on which room to pick since I found decoding the room locations confusing. I opted to pre-pay tips so that it would be done and it allowed me to sign up for the MyTime Dining. Before booking I asked my co-workers for advice since they're all experienced cruisers also.
