I understand the point of loss revenue, and my expterise like yourself comes with a degree in the hospitality industry, and working for the past 7 years,I have been the General Manager of one of the largest nightclubs in the country, so liquor is my business, and people interacting is all I do: I guess my point is there are nightclubs in Vegas/Miami who give you open bar all night long for a small cover charge like $20, it is just an example of how cheap liquor is, and for an incremental cost, the experience as I believe Lawrence had pointed out, would make it all the better, and I believe the percentage of loss revenue would be compensated by a small increase in cruise fare that I am sure the majority would not mind paying, and if the cruise line took a small portion of the cruise fare and included in a breakage calculation, just like when you check into a hotel and breakfast is included in your room rate, the room service/breakfast department does not consider that a loss of revenue, but they receive a portion of the room rate to be calculated into there daily sales, the revenue is there, just calculated in a different way, but again this is not my company, and I am just a paying customer who loves Radissons product, and will continue to cruise with them for a very long time.
