my question is what is the daily fee ER charges? i asked a sales person, but it was after i started giving them the impression i was not interested in buying soon, so they didnt bother responding. 
africa, bhutan(como not aman), seabourn med cruise, galapagos cruise are their once in a lifetime options, all requiring a daily fee in addition to using your plan nights. they should call the world that too now, with that $450 fee... now booking space available is the same as booking direct.
i did a seabourn crossing last year, it was pretty nice, but id wait for their new ships before going again. after the new ships it seems the best overall IMHO. seadream apparently has better F&B. and hapag llyod's ms europa is supposed to have better service, but doesnt include alcohol. i didnt think the caviar or champage were particularly good quality. discounts on louis xviii were great though - $37.50 a shot. (other two all inclusive are silversea and regent)
i never consider the so called "discounts off published rate" actually discounts. discounts would be off the actual rate they charge. like the crossings are one of the few times they have the best single supplement, i paid 8% instead of the usual much higher supplement. i dont think its usually 100%, maybe 80%? peak is 100%. and higher cabin category, unless youve got a lot of seabourn/cunard days under your belt.
thinking about PE/UR vs ER some more - it also depends on how many properties PE/UR have in the pipeline.. ER has quite a few.
