"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.
