Not always. It depends on on many other factors, including the elasticity of demand. If it is close to zero (at the moment no one is getting on a cruise ship) changing prices does not move the demand needle. My guess is that those afraid to get on a boat won't do it at $$$$ and won't do it at $$ either.
