Hi Paul,
They do not have figures as to how many of their passengers will
cruise with them because they favor the new stringent controls. Most
cruise lines sail full. The question becomes what is the per diem
rate that the cruise line charges. IOW, did they have to discount to
fill the last remaining cabins or were they able to maintain or even
raise prices and filled the last remaining cabins.
Best regards,
Ray
