I voted for 1 year because that is the average for us. Have done as much as 18 months and as few as 4 months. Right now waiting for all the Panama Canal for Fall 09 to come out to book our next cruise.

I went with the 2+, I like the idea of having that much time to pay the cruise off, of course the waiting is hard.
