Additional Information:

1) We're a Family of 8 (Ages 15, 17, 19, 20, 22, 24, 51, 64)

2) We really like Option 3, but if we go, the 2 youngest members will have to miss 6 Days of School. (Really, 5, since the last day is usually a Free-Day because it's the last day before Christmas Vacations) <-- Both are in High School

3) We kind of prefer Option 2, but we still don't understand why it's more expensive than Option 1. I mean, the port taxes are only $30 more pp. Why is it $400 more expensive? Also, isn't the Celebrity Reflection supposed to be a little more expensive since it's a newer ship?
