Where did all the A321s go?
I commute on B6 weekly FLL to NYC (usually JFK, sometimes LGA). Last year got used to the nice A321s. They went away over the summer, but I figured they would be back come fall. Now I'm booked out till Feb, and still no A321s on FLL-JFK. Hmmm... where did they go? (They also keep messing with my favored times for flights, forcing me into more LGA use, but that's another topic.)

For 1 Feb 2016:
Lots of flights to Caribbean destinations where frequency is more limited and/or demand is higher.

Just this past Sunday, I counted four (4) A321s on FLL-JFK. About a month or so ago we even saw a mix of E190/A320/A321 on the route. I also saw an E190 doing FLL-LGA which is rare.

No, they are about 6-9 months behind the original released build schedule which implied a Q2-Q3 2017 delivery of the first new engine model of the A320. You may be thinking of the A321 which started delivery already as was discussed above.
