What's the best way to save money on a specific Royal Caribbean cruise?

My sister's going on a cruise next year. It's on July 22 2012, Royal Caribbean, Freedom of the Seas, 7-night Western Caribbean cruise. Does anybody know any ways to save money on booking this cruise? I know about the Discover Card cashback bonus doubling - are there any other tips to save?

Best deal we've found so far is about $1400 per person after taxes/gratuity for 3 people in a Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom.

Ways of saving on airfare, hotels, and two one-way rental cars from and to Orlando airport and Cape Canaveral are also appreciated.

Many thanks!

Best way to save money is not to take one.

Sorry, not much of an ocean guy. That's why I never joined the Navy.

@bestpricecruises: The cruise has already been booked through RC. I guess that means it's too late?

@sirlouie - Not at all. As long as you are not paid in full, you can transfer a direct booking with the cruise line to any travel agency. Your rate will remain the same (or possibly lower if we can move you into a better promotion) and then we will give you onboard credit or other amenities for booking with us. If you would like to explore this option further, please e-mail us at staff@bestpricecruises.com. If you give us your cost per person and taxes, we can provide a breakdown of what Cash Back we can offer you for transferring your reservation to us.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
