And presumably numbers bouncing back after the pandemic - and as memories of the pandemic fade.
There was a long period where they couldn't run cruises at all due to social distancing. And a load of ships where the infection spread like wildfire and there was barely any medical care available. And a load of people getting trapped on board ships that weren't allowed into ports, so they couldn't get repatriation flights, and so on.
Measure against those catastrophic years, and I've no doubt demand is increasing!
