Looking at a cruise 60 days out, depending on short term discounts. I am a bargain hunter. It takes me 1 week to prepare for the cruise to make sure I have every little item packed which might need, and 2 weeks to unpack, do laundry, put away all the little items properly so I will find them again.

That’s certainly better than 30 days out, but still kind of short. I’d still recommend holding out on booking, at least for a month. They’ll still take you then (they certainly will have vacancies!). I’m roughly the opposite - 2 weeks to pack and 1 to unpack. I had my living room in a perfect travel config...and then this. So now our suitcases are filled with non-perishables. We won’t be buying much food for at least the next 6 months!
