Book NY cruise now or wait?

[HappilyEverAfter80]

So we are interested in booking the 8 night NYC to Bahamas/ WDW on Oct 6th. I know that last year the NYC cruises did not sell that well since DCL offered a bunch of guaranteed rates, including some for Canadian residents.
This year they added Marvel day at sea to these sailings, I'm assuming to make them more attractive.
I was thinking of booking this since there is the 50% off deposit offer now.
I am actually kicking myself as we had a placeholder from a cruise last Fall, and our TA moved it from a placeholder status to some cheapie cruise (not sure why they do that), then we moved it to a sailing this spring but unfortunately had to cancel. Did not realize this also canceled the placeholder, but I should have known, not blaming the TA. The 10% off and OBC would make things easier now for sure.
Anyway... I don't know how to tell if this cruise is selling well... would you book or wait to see if DCL discounts any of the rooms?

check out cruise fish. net....they have pricing history and which categories are unavailable. It looks like that cruise is still at opening day prices. You could always book now as as a precaution and then make the call before the cancellation deadline....that is what I would do.
