My question is this: right now I can buy airline ticket round trip from DTW (Detroit, MI) to Orlando for a total price including taxes for $202.00. Do you think any airline will sell tickets cheaper than that amount before my departure date?

I think that is a pretty good deal. You can't get much cheaper than that. You can wait to see, but I would take it!!! You don't know what will happen with the gas prices next year, so take it! I would at least! Also, for a cruise, unless you live in the area where you port at, leave a day ahead, or even two days ahead to be safe so you know you can get to your boat ontime. On the day of your cruise, you will want to get there 3 hours in advance or more! Just some tips I wanted to share with you!

It is a good price, but you can do better.
Go to nwa.com (NW Airlines website) and search for roundrip flights for your cruise dates. Search one day earlier because you definitely want to fly a day before your cruise departs. I searched on Aug. 3-11, and found flights for $178.00, ($197.10 total cost with taxes, etc.).
I'm sure you can do almost as well on any of the other airline's websites. Just do a little online prowling. You'll be surprised what a great travel agent you can be for yourself!
Don't wait very long to lock in your flights, though. The prices are very volatile because of fuel costs. The prices sometimes change hourly, and will get a lot higher the closer to your flight date you get.
You can also go online and find an inexpensive motel not far from the airport, with free or low-cost shuttle service to and from the airport.
Remember to fly a day earlier than your cruise in case your plane's delayed or there's some other difficulty. Unless you book your plane tickets through the cruise line, you are responsible for getting to the boat dock and the ship might not wait for you.
Have fun! We've cruised 7 times on 3 different lines, and think it's one of the best values for vacationing!

I took a cruise on Royal Caribbean from Port Canaveral a few months back. The ship was beautiful, but the staff/crew were kind of nasty, and the food was awful. I've heard that Disney is top of the line though. My aunt and uncle and their family took a Disney cruise a few years ago. They said that the food was excellent, the ship was beautiful, the staterooms were decently sized, and there was always plenty of stuff to do, especially for kids. It's a little more expensive than most lines, but I've heard it's well worth it. Carnival I've heard is really ghetto, so I wouldn't recommend that one.

Unlikely. And you may want to consider arriving the day before the cruise or earlier. If your flight gets delayed or canceled, the boat will leave without you and your cruise may not be refundable.

That sounds like a pretty good price to me, but I've not flown in awhile......
