Okay. I've been tracking the Room availability for our cruise for some time now. (Looking to see if Upgrades will be possible) For the most part I haven't seen a lot of change from week to week. But this week I did see some changes that I thought that everyone may be interested in.
For quite a few weeks I have been seeing lots of rooms avail for Cats 11,10,9,8 and 4 with GTY only rooms in Cats 5,6 and 7.
this week was the first change I have seen in a while.
First there is changes in prices. Cats 8 thru 11 have become slightly cheaper. (based on family of 4 with 2 young children)
Cat 11 was $3815.32 is now $3772.60 Change -$42.72
Cat 10 was $4015.32 is now $3972.60 Change -$42.72
Cat 9 was $4215.32 is now $4172.60 Change -$42.72
Cat 8 was $4415.32 is now $4372.60 Change -$42.72
Meanwhile Cats 5 and 6 are becoming more expensive:
Cat 6 was $4755.32 is now $5012.60 Change +$257.28
Cat 5 was $4955.32 is now $5212.60 Change +$257.28
And in a crazy change Cat 4 is ever so slightly cheaper:
Cat 4 was $6715.32 is now 6712.60 Change -$2.72
Room availability is also changing. Ever since I've been keeping track (about a month ago) Cats 4, 8, 9, 10 and 11 have had a lot of availability. However Cats 5,6,7 have all been selling GTY only telling me that their availability has been very tight. The price change reflects this. Here's the kicker, Now Cat 11 is now showing GTY only while Cat 5 has Rooms availiable. I think that we are beginning to see a bit of shifting around of rooms.
If my analysis is correct then what I said earlier about possible upgrades still holds true. If you booked Cats 10 to 12 you have a good possibility of upgrades. If you booked Cats 9 and above, it is much less likely.
