Looking to Book Ft Lauderdale to San Francisco next January

[oskidunker]

Since there is  only three ports on this 16 day trip I find the fares a little high.  Asked my travel agent how full the ship was as I am considering waiting until after the final pay is due in hopes it might go down. Ii have never been on a Cunard cruise but anxious to try for the dress up experience. Have recently been on Oceania and Viking. Both were great

Here is what travel agent told me. Any guesses as to what they are doing?

 

It's a mystery to me!

The availability doesn't make much sense.

 

The agent booking site shows this for the Queen Victoria

 

January 11, 2024    52-Day cruise from Southampton to Auckland is completely full

Just Guarantees and Wait-lists are showing in every category.

 

The January 22, 2024   41-Day cruise from Ft. Lauderdale to Sydney is also full in all categories (just guarantees & waitlists)

 

But the Jan 22, 2024   16-Day Panama Canal cruise from Ft. Lauderdale to San Francisco is sold out in just a few categories:

Q2 & Q5...Pa...A1 & A2...BC, BE and CA are all showing as waitlisted

BUT the rest of the categories are available to book.

Looks like a continuation of what we discussed here earlier when the 2024 QV World Voyage was first released for sale just over a year ago. After some spot-checking, I am finding a few more segments which might be in the "guarantees only" status now beyond the nine originally discussed in this thread.
