Right, I'd expect them to stop offering category 12 once the ship has reached a certain capacity. what I find interesting is the vanishing of category 11 availability. For example - at this moment I'm only seeing 9 and 10.
Given that 10 and 11 were offered at the same price recently, I wonder if the lack of category 11 is due to them being assigned to category 12 reservations?

Lots of cruise lines do this late in the day, in a run up to the cruise, they show a sellection of rooms available but if they have lots of availability in general to boost bookings at a cheaper price they oversell the lowest cheapest CAT.

On the transatlantic they even offered 3/4 person cheaper then very low, then kids free to boost sales, all these, do have limited effect on the people already booked.

There is a knock on 'upgrade' effect.
Cat 12>Cat 11. Cat 11> Cat 10 Cat 10>Cat 9 etc

Well, we probably paid too much - but we'll have fun.

That's what I was wondering - and also how reservations start changing as they start assigning all those cat 12's...
