Price fluctuations the last months before departure (Odyssey 27th June 2020)

[Pingus]

Having booked 5 cabins on this sailing in the lower V's and A1's suddenly two more couples want to tag along. But, as usual, prices fluctuate and pricing is now prohibitevly 150% of ours; €6,500.-/7 days for a V6 which has made them halt a bit.

Tried some mock searches, and by my estimate about 13-15% of the cabins are shown as bookable, 15 of those in the V6 category.

From those of you in the know and that do have the experience: How likely are prices to (hopefully) plummet slightly as we close in on the departure date? Are there any statistics available? Optimal moments to wait for?

The Mediterranean seems to be Seabourns strongest market in my opinion. I think it will get stronger with the new corona virus in the Asia markets.  I did 21 days on the odyssey last summer. The only price reduction was one year out, which I got, but the 21d day cruise doubled in price as it got closer to sailing. The one American website I just used to look up your cruise, states limited availability.
