Too late for 9/23 & 9/30 Med cruise?

Lovin the itinerary this B2B makes. Truly, an Italian dream come true. Perhaps we waited too long in booking. The cost is averaging >$1000 per couple per night for a balcony. Any hopes more 'specials' will open up? We are tentatively booked with Viking Oceans (a 72 hour hold) at a lower rate that also includes more, but Azamara's itinerary is what I'm hoping for.

You waited too long! Try and book when the cruise opens up!

If the cruise you're buying is worth the price it's currently selling for to you, you haven't waited too long. I never care about what others have paid or yesterday's/tomorrow's promotions. If I'm happy when I'm buying, I'm happy :)

Out of curiosity I checked the originally published brochure fares (US) for a Club Veranda stateroom on these two voyages:

9/23 voyage $3399

9/30 voyage $3399

Sum $6798, or $485.57 per diem per person

Today, 6/19/16, the website has them starting at:

9/23 voyage $3849

9/30 voyage $3299

Sum $7148, or $510.57 pdpp

This is an increase of $350, or 5%. Less of an increase than I would have guessed without checking.
