Curious about Brochure Prices - Red vs Black Ink

[IWantToLiveOverTheSea]

The brochure I got has prices in red or black for each stateroom/suite category listed for each cruise.  For a few cruises, the French Veranda for Vista is priced higher than the veranda stateroom.  Is this (possibly) because a lot of people are interested in trying this new type of stateroom?  And there are a few places where the price of an inside stateroom on ships other than Vista is actually than a veranda room. I've never seen that before, and I've never really known Oceania to lower prices.  But it's a new game out there, so anything's possible.  But in any case, I'm now wondering what that red color means.  The cruises in this brochure are all European cruises ones coming up soon.  The outside cover says select sailings are 40% off, and offer expires March 31, but I don't know if that has any relevance to the pricing structure.  And I didn't read the fine print or scan the QR code, so I suppose it might be explained somewhere.  Does anyone know more?

Red seems to be the "up to 40% off" price. 

For cruises where lower categories are not in red, I assume the lower categories are sold out or wait listed. There are some interesting juxtapositions.

 

Our latest such brochure had 4 cruises with red (sale) prices out of was it 13 total? Many different combinations of which categories were or were not on sale. 

 

Have fun shopping and Comp sent everyone!

Wondering why I still accept marketing phrases such as "up to 40% off".  Could be 1% to 40%

 

Yet it does encourage me to enquire further.
