I'm interested to hear what the source of "some voyages are only at 25%."
I don't deny that that may be the case.
And it's clear they aren't filling up like they used to.
BUT... how many voyages are only at 25%? Are ten percent of voyages at 25%? Fifty percent? Ninety percent?
If one doesn't know the answer to that question, then one doesn't know exactly how the Starcruiser is doing financially.
If a cruise is only 25% filled, that's $125,000 for the two nights. Is that enough to make that cruise profitable? And if it isn't, what about all the two-night cruises that are only 50% filled? That's $250,000 per cruise. Is that enough to make that cruise profitable?
I don't know. I doubt anyone here knows.
As far as revenue goes…I can tell you that 20 years ago a Moderate down the road would generate around 200,000 in revenue per night. A deluxe would generate that or slightly more a night.
It’s actually math…$100 a night x 2000 rooms equals $200,000.
Yep…I’m talking caribbean ( and Dixie and Coronado at that time)
So much larger overhead…and that revenue didn’t make “profit” anyway…
But 20 years ago.
As far as how booked the thing is now? We don’t know and they won’t tell us.
So the most logical sitch is that they were running between 25 and 75% each block…and closed down the slow ones and shunted whoever booked them into the big block to get it to 90% if they can. That means 0% midweek and maybe 80% on the weekends. Totally occupancy probably 50-60% at most at those times?
My amazing experience knowing inventory control, revenue control, wdw ops and specifically resort ops allows me to get in the ballpark.
But don’t tell LuvGoof or I’ll get lectured for having the audacity of experience
But there’s no definitive number. So 90% every day and they really are closing to paint fingerprints off the walls
is a stance one can take
As is it’s 10-25% and flat 6 months out and they’ll have to fake the fire Marshall shutting it down to save face.
We don’t know. Signs aren’t good. And that’s just because I was a CM above frontline 25 years ago talking…which is worthless.
