I’m surprised at that number. With all the past and present negative news I’d think that it would be hard to attract new cruisers. It would be interesting to see how that breaks down with the major brands. Some, like Carnival, typically attract new cruisers while other lines, like Holland America, are known for their high percentage of returning cruisers.
