Guess it really depends on why you cruise and probably where you are form. Locally people are still cancelling cruises and not planning on any till restrictions are removed, these are mainly families though with kids. But adult couples that are mainly going to drink, sit in the sun and eat have no issue going right now. I know for us 9k is too much to spend as a family of 5 for cruise with restrictions and then limited offerings , less time in kids clubs, and so on. Big question is how it plays out if cruises are the last ones standings with extra hoops to jump through to vacation.
See, I didn't feel any of that when I went as a family of 6. There were no restrictions on kids club times, they could spend as much time in there as they wanted. The kids also spent far less time waiting in line for the Aquaduck, were able to actually do the Goofy Sports Simulator, saw every movie and theater show we wanted to, and found plenty to do with the current offerings to the point we didn't do anywhere near everything we wanted to on a 4 day cruise. That said, we were never much on the excursions, so having reduced offerings at Nassau and Castaway Cay really didn't impact us any.
As you say, locally, I can see why people may be cancelling. They're in Florida, where masking isn't as standard as in other parts of the country, so I can see how that's a turn off. They also have the beach on a daily basis, so warm weather and a beach isn't an attraction in and of itself to Florida residents where it is to much of the rest of the US. In the end, I'm not saying DCL fills up to capacity over Spring Break. Though to do so it just sounds like they need 2,000 more people per sailing for the month, which is a relatively small number when you consider typical Spring Break numbers.
