compared to 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Liberty also pointed out, \u201cAs a reminder, customers who purchase onboard experiences before their cruise, spend about two and a half times more than those who do not buy pre-cruise.\u201d This underscores the financial advantage of encouraging pre-cruise bookings for both the company and the guests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The trend of
