Creator's Key Takeaways

we actually think we're in an optimal booked position. We are at rates that are I think higher than we probably thought they would be at which I think is a really good thing as we see really strong demand

the cost of a cruise costs more today than it did a year ago. But people are also willing to pay it, which is the most important thing about this

the days of the $99 cruise fairs are gone, ladies and gentlemen. I'm sorry.
