What Up in Miami 10/2 to 10/9/16?

I ask this question because on the NCL website the weeks in September and the following weeks in October have prices in all categories that are about 20% higher on the 7 day Getaway Western Caribbean out of Miami. $749 vs $589 on inside, same promotions available etc. Is it a special school week like they have in October in NJ? Can't see it being anymore hurricane threatened than the other weeks. Any info would be appreciated.:)

Columbus day is a big cruising week because many get that day off or week off. Prices are simply supply and demand.

Sorry I did not explain the situation properly. The low prices are the cruise 10/2 to 10/9, all the other cruises in September and October are the same price, including 10/9 to 10/16, about 20% higher than the 10/2 cruise. Why?

In October of 2015 the cruises out of Miami have the same prices listed every week, no one week lower like in 2016.

My first thought would be that the ship has a large group booked, and they are trying to get rid of the unused rooms at a discount rate since you may be inconvenienced by the large group.
