The DTV pax suggests that virtually no NCL pax migrate to DTV even when availability at NCL tight. Particular case in point very difficult to get last minute PMI flights ex NCL in June, whereas the asumumption is that DTV pax down on same no. of flights as 2012? thus spare capacity ?
If so then DTV has certainly lost the plot in its ability to attract floating pax, & perhaps "Get me some traffic's" observation as to PFF says it all.
It seems pretty obvious that no one is going to pay more for an inferior product.
It would be extremely interesting & indeed relevant if they were able to run a survey as to how far away departing pax travel to get to DTV. One suspects that it may that it is not very far at all and that the practical current catchment area is in reality now one of the lowest in the country.
