Alaska, by cabin and how far out you're sailing
| Cabin | Departure | Fell | Held | Rose | Fares |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Interior | 6+ months out | 31% fell | 58% held | 11% rose | 888 |
| Oceanview | 6+ months out | 34% fell | 60% held | 6% rose | 889 |
| Balcony | 6+ months out | 36% fell | 49% held | 15% rose | 816 |
| Suite | 6+ months out | 15% fell | 66% held | 19% rose | 852 |
"Fell"/"rose" means the all-in price moved more than 2% either way over the window; anything smaller counts as "held". Same sailing and cabin compared at both ends — never a different mix of inventory. Groups under 40 comparable fares are left out rather than shown thin. Fares move nightly; this is what already happened, not a forecast.
