How frequently does DCL change the schedules between releases?

Preface - While difficult, I'm trying to focus discussion of this issue outside of any COVID influencing behavior we might see at a corporate level.

At this point, I'm now at best 50/50 for our B2B in May (still positive for November tho). So I started looking at pushing back our dates. A month or so ago, I had identified some other sailings in October that looked promising. Aaaaaaannnnnnnndddddd - they're gone. Digging a little deeper, I'm finding a couple of holes in the sched. For example, Fantasy in October '21. There seems to be a big empty after 10/16 until 10/30 that wasn't there back at the last release.

Honestly I've never paid much attention to this before. We're Wonder snobs for the PC and just now are starting to think about other types of sailings. But does this kind of thing happen a lot? Is it that some sailings, as has been discussed before, just aren't showing up now? Trying to understand the logic here.

Could very well be a drydock, or being held for a charter.

One of those is the 8 nights HOTHS that was taken off the schedule (but not cancelled thus far) because the CDC says no cruises longer than 7 nights from a US port until Nov 1st 2021. The second cruise could be a charter?

You know, I totally spaced on that - even though I read that thread. Thanks for the reminder. Now I gotta go look for missing shorter cruises. This is hell when you're the planning type.
