Chicagoan Shirlee Yeary says she and her husband "were going to forget our winter getaway this year because of the economy." But her travel agency, Cruise Holidays, saw a deluxe cabin for a week in the Caribbean on a brand new ship, the Celebrity Solstice, at almost half price. For $1,100 per person, Yeary, who says she's never experienced the swank side of cruising, also gets a veranda, complimentary champagne, daily hors d'oeuvres and preferential treatment on shore excursions.
