Cruise Future Price Prediction Tool

Stumbled across this--I think via Twitter:

http://allthingscruise.com/future_price_predictions/

Supposed to chart previous prices for sailings for a limited number of cruise lines (looks like just the major ones) then makes a prediction as to whether prices will go up or down for each cabin category. Anyone have any experience with it? Do you think it's worthwhile?

But if there's a lot of demand for a sailing early on, prices should logically go up, right? (Or vice versa--low demand should send prices down). Problem is, other than watching a bunch of different sailings over time and checking prices, I don't see any way to evaluate this. Oh well, guess it's just another tool for the toolkit that will have to be taken with a grain of salt...
