I would believe the numbers of a corporate officer if I heard them from his mouth or I read a quote from said CFO.
Not believing it just because somebody post on Cruise Critic that the CFO said so.
where does one get the information on what the break even point is? Your reply says around 80% while wheres walter said around 35% which I think is way to low but since I have no idea where to gain the information I'd thought I'd ask.
Yes time will tell. Not sure how you know if they consider them compettition but OK. I would consider any new comers as competition but I don't run a business.
They probably don't consider them much competition since they only appeal to the adults only market but it take away some pax that previously cruised with Carnival.
There is enough pie for everybody to coexist
I guess they weighed their options.
Either we start sailings as scheduled with staff shortages and supply chain issues or cancel until May 2023 in hopes of things being better by then.
Don't think lines for things, and certain items and/or venues not available would be a good start to a new cruise line and could hurt their word of mouth advertising and reputation.
Maybe Carnival should have used this logic and not rushed all ships back into service. They're getting by OK and with prices being so low most people are accepting of these circumstances.
you need some 10 day itineraries to get into the Caribbean from NY but then you don't have that many people who can get off for that long a period of time.. Catch 22
