What's Going on in Miami in Dec 2023?
Looking for a pre-cruise hotel near the Port of Miami on Dec 21st, 2023, and most properties in Miami (clser to downtown/MB) are showing as "Diamond Guarantee" only or pricing extremely high (i.e Hamptons for $1500/night). I've tried searching for events in the area that might be causing this, but wondering if I'm too early to book (although the Diamind Desk did say rates were loaded). Looking for any thoughts on what might be causing this. Any insights greatly appreciated.

There are a number of cruises returning and departing from Miami during that week. There is a Doubletree Hotel (DoubleTree by Hilton Grand Hotel Biscayne Bay) that has a Diamond Guarantee rate of $ 238 for December 21, 2023 and can be cancelled 2 days before.

I was just amazed at the number of “sold out” hotels. In particular, that DT shows some out on multiple dates after early August. That seems odd.
I checked a random location (San Diego) in Dec and most hotels were also sold out. So maybe just too early to book. But odd.
