Now, I fear many people will pay the extra €50 to come to the upper deck with its various advantages and it won't be quiet anymore. Not a good idea...
when were you last on the upper deck and it was empty

To the contrary, the 50 EUR will scare people off and less people will be upstairs. We'll see how it goes. If I can get 65A @ OLCI for free, the new fee is GREAT!
