It depends. It’s sold on people capacity/rooms, which ever fills up first.Does "available" refer to one room, or multiple rooms?

Right. So you can see that "Look! The booking site shows availability!" could indicate anything from:It depends. It’s sold on people capacity/rooms, which ever fills up first.
Yes. A cruise with 100 rooms sold could be 200 people, could be upwards of 350 people. It just dependsRight. So you can see that "Look! The booking site shows availability!" could indicate anything from:
"There is one (perhaps the most expensive) room available on each cruise through the rest of the year!"
and
"They don't have a single cabin booked between tomorrow and the end of the year!"
So "This thing is an utter failure!" might be a bit premature and uninformed?

Life Day would like a word with you!Not arguing towards availability and what not as I have no idea, however one thing to note is there are “no holidays in space” so the Starcruiser won’t be celebrating anything
Depends on their expected occupancy. If the reports of 25% are accurate they’re probably in full panic mode, if they’re at 95% they’re probably doing exactly what they hoped. They likely expect a cabin or two available every trip as proof they are correctly priced and maximizing return.That's a question as old as time. And it's valid. And yet...
I just went and tried to book a room at the Grand Floridian for tomorrow night. It's fully booked.
Fromparking lotgarden view twin rooms to lagoon view 3 bedroom villas, there is no availability tomorrow or this weekend at the Grand Floridian. Even when I try and toggle to book a package including theme park tickets, the 867 room Grand Floridian is fully booked this week.

I'd imagine if I went and tried at the Poly or the Contemporary, the results would be the same. The parks are packed, after all and it's the weekend before Thanksgiving when most schools in the USA are off for the week.
But the 100 room Galactic Starcruiser still has open availability all week. That can't be what they were planning for the first holiday season of its operation.

Not disagreeing, just saying that the Starcruiser will be doing little if any to acknowledge the “Holiday Season”Life Day would like a word with you!
But resort rooms use flexible pricing and dump blocks of rooms to Travelocity, Expedia, Booking.com, etc. Maybe not the best comparison.
I just got this on Travelocity:Okay, I just went and tried Expedia for the same dates this weekend, same 1 room request anywhere on Disney World property. According to Expedia, every single Disney property is booked and unavailable. Even though Disney itself still has a few rooms at those 5 properties I mentioned above.
Expedia is worse than Disney's own site for availability this weekend, and looking into next month.

If they are truly cutting to 1 dinner service then 50% or less would make sense.Depends on their expected occupancy.

They probably view a sold out GF as proof they underpriced the weekend and can charge more next year.
Here's another example of how crowded it can get in the atrium...

(the saja there is giving my son some secret instructions)
I guess my point here is that it can almost be too crowded to have personal interactions sometimes. Our favorite times were lingering around after meals in the dining room or passing through the Atrium in slow periods (I had a great secret chat with Lenka and Raithe doing just that).
