Booking early is no advantage

We booked an inside guarantee cabin several months. When we got our docs we had a cabin assignment which had us upgraded 2 categories. A few days ago the price on our cruise dropped by about $150 per person. We got a credit from Celebrity for the difference for which I am delighted. The bad part is we were thrown back into the pool for the lowest category again. My thinking on this is why should we be on the same level as someone who is just giving their money to Celebrity today, when they have had our money for quite some time?
Don't get me wrong, I went into this willing to accept any cabin on the ship, but I don't see the advantage of booking early if you can get the same price and cabin deal by waiting until later on.
Anyone else agree with me on this?
I e-mailed my TA about this but she has not responded so far.

I quit gambling on my cabins long ago. I book early and book a specific cabin. That way I am assured of getting what I want. It may cost a tiny bit more but well worth it to me.

I don't get it... what are you in disagreement with? Sounds like you could take an upgrade or take a discount. I'd probably take the discount. What's the problem?
