Kim, most people seem to "park" their deposit on the cheapest cruise they can, as far in the future as possible. I have never done this myself, only done the onboard booking once, that was for my upcoming June cruise on Voyager, and I had researched that beforehand, and pretty well knew what I wanted.
I live in Little Italy, by the way.
