Frank Del Rio: " . . . the emphasis will continue to be push prices up . . .

Forgive my ignorance but what is Mr Del Rio referring to here? Certainly not mid-50s in percentage of capacity, right? I've never been on a cruise which was less than 85% or so (and I do enquire!) but I've also never sailed on NCL before.

 

Or is he talking about advance-purchase percentage, at the end of the year for next year? That makes more sense. I'm also sort of intrigued by lines which charge 200% for solo travellers but give free rides (or major discounts) to third and even fourth pax in a given stateroom. Obviously this has to do with how the cruise line actually makes its money, but it still sort of amazes me.

 

He was talking about advance purchase percentage. Here is the webcast that you can listen to up until 12/2.
