Best $5 I've spent in a long time

After we booked the honeymoon cruise, a friend clued me in to cruisefish.com, a site where you can pay $5 (the search itself is only $ .99, but you can only buy credits in $5 increments) and set up an alert for the cruise and type of cabin you booked. It keeps track of price changes, and if the price drops lower than you paid, you can leap onto the website of whatever cruise you booked (or contact your travel agent and get them to do it for you) and get a refund.

Since I set up the alert, three price drops have taken $240 off our total fare, and I've seen it in time to fill out the form and send it in. As we've already paid in full, we can either get cabin upgrades or credit to spend on stuff on the ship. Best $5 I've spent in a long time!

Ours is the Montego Bay/Cayman/Cozumel one. We did it before and we don't have too much of a desire to do the shore excursions again. Maybe get off in Grand Cayman and wander around a little bit, but not a whole lot else. I think we both want a week in which to sit around and do nothing. XD
