Well you took yourself out of peak season and put yourself into Hurricane season so the saving would be expected...
Actually, hurricane season runs June to November. The most active part of the season when for the US to be impacted is typically late August thru mid October.
I purposely just moved our cruise to September based on hurricane season; they did say their peak season ends in August so I just assumed it coincided with Hurricane Season. That and apparently Bahamian waters are warmer then...I couldn't do Castaway Cay in May when the Gulf is already 78 degrees...Actually, hurricane season runs June to November.

Yeah, I think anything before Labor Day is considered a busier travel season. I've lived in Florida and along the Gulf coast region all but the first 18 months of my life. Hurricanes are just part of living. Not a big deal. We really enjoy sailing in the fall even during the storm season. We don't worry about sailing in a storm as much as we worry about one messing up our home while we're gone. I found the water at CC a bit chilly in January but we brought spring suits in anticipation. May wasn't awful. September is so warm. I love that time.
Pretty sure the Labor Day schedule has been out for about a week or so...which, is actually earlier than the late June / Early July response you would have gotten even two weeks ago.
