Stateroom Availablity Based on Browser/I.P. Address??

I've had my eye on a specific sailing but have been waiting on a card to arrive in the mail to complete the booking.

What's odd is that when I check availability on my work PC it lists three options for Balcony rooms: Obstructed view, Regular and Extended Balcony.

When I get home it lists Obstructed and Extended only. I've checked the site the past two days and its done the same thing. Is this a glitch or do they offer certain things based off of browser type or IP address?

I remember there being a few news stories in the past discussing "dynamic pricing" that some retailers use based on location or if depending if accessed from a Windows Machine vs Mac vs Mobile device.

Is it known if cruise lines use this strategy?
