I would think for cabins in pricey cat (Aurea, YC, Suites) they would accept sooner rather than later if those cabins are showing as available on booking sites. I would think they would want those filled by bids or dropping prices rather than nothing. (our cruise has plenty of Aurea balconies open and they've been open for a while. Along with a few suites) but maybe not. Just what I would do. I would want ships sailing as full as possible if it was my business.
