Oceania's parent company owns Regent Seven Seas and half of NCL.

They're not such a small player.

Why would one use Oceania and Regent which truly are a premium section
of the industry as opposed to some that are marketed as premium but
really are not, as indicators of the health of the cruise industry?
Oceania and Regent combined have only 4000 berths to fill. There is a
limited supply of berths for that niche even if they build one more
1200 passenger ship. Their customer base is not the average middle
class joe or jill. The mass market lines have single ships in their
fleet with 4000 berths and the mass market lines can't fill their ships
with business executives or plastic surgeons, their customer base is
among middle class workers who are hurting right now.

No, I don't think so. It's because he turned the word economy into a word
that doesn't exist, is all. He was just laughing at Trollie's complete
inability to express himself in words, I believe.

I didn't comment on the health of the industry. I commented on what
you said about Oceania being a small player. I disagree. I reminded
you that Oceania is part of a larger company and noticed that you
completely ignored that the parent company now also owns half of NCL
(which has finally become profitable).

It's like saying that Cunard isn't a major player without
acknowledging that Cunard is managed by Princess and part of the
Carnival empire.

If Oceania wasn't a influential player, RCI wouldn't bother with
Azamara.
