Reply To: JoCo Cruise Crazy 3: Get excited and talk about things!
Thanks, @JoCo. That explanation pretty much corresponds with what I figured was going on — the line booked the group based on X number of paid cabins, and if we’re at X-Y paid cabins, the line’s invoice to the Home Office is still going to be based on X — which, when operating at minimal margin to begin with, will quickly put that margin negative as Y increases. Filling those remaining Y empty cabins helps us all, ultimately, if we’re at all interested in seeing JCCC4 be a real thing that happens. And there’s incentive (in the form of the cabin credit) to entice our friends to join us using the booking-specific link that came in that email from the Home Office yesterday.
Just for giggles, I checked out what was available and there really aren’t that many — no suites, no outsides at all.
