Here's something intriguing. SkyAuction has recently launched a cruise section, ostensibly making it possible to get the cheapest prices on select cruises for that family reunion at sea or honeymoon abroad. Great if you're on a budget. But it's not clear what makes it an "auction."
I didn't see a place to set your own price or alter the pricing listed. Pricing seems to be set when you enter the search results pages with the words "Book It" readily available for you to take action. With an auction site, I'd want to adjust my bid. Still, they do have a best price guarantee (or else you get $50 in "SkyCash") and seem to have a limited supply of cabin rates available per cruise. Perhaps they purchased remnant cruise space and are selling now it at a discount?
Bidding or no bidding, the rates may well save you money on your next group trip. Have a look for yourself and compare it to your favorite cruise line site for pricing to see if it works for you. Feel free to share any comments.
