Well, yes, except that of course Pax numbers continue to rise because RYR and co have made it possible for people to travel, who never could before
You misunderstand me. I'm not popping off at RYR. When is comes to customer care the whole industry sucks.
As for increasing numbers - yes, but it will become a predominantly low cost (relative cost), low service, leisure only industry as we move into the future....with associated crap working pay and conditions for those in it.
