Looking for a holiday cruise on 12/26 or after

We would like to sail on 12/26 or after and would like to know if anyone has recently booked a holiday cruise and where the good deals might be. Thank you!

This may be further out than you were thinking but we just booked a 10 night cruise (Ult E Carib) aboard the Constellation leaving Ft Lauderdale on 12/29/06. We booked this early to get one of the corner FV cabins which is perfect for our family of 4. Because it is an extended sailing, a holiday one at that, aboard Celebrity's newest ship, for an FV cabin, I wouldn't call what we got as a "great deal" though.

We are booked on the 1/2/06 11 night cruise on Mercury. One of our reasons for booking this cruise really far ahead on 2/2/05 was the prices for Royal Suites were really really good! As expected literally all of the suites and higher category cabins have been sold out for a long time. Another reason was the cruise was taking us to places where we have never been.

We're on the Galaxy departing Galveston on 12/29. It's an 11 day partial transit of the Panama Canal. We booked this last week, during a "Happy Hour" special, so the per diem price was very good.
