It's a little bit disingenuous to cite the visitation rate of a single ship. I'm not saying you're wrong, but let's talk in terms of overall visitors--considering that multiple lines visit the city, we should rule out that one line's decrease in traffic wouldn't be made up for by other lines' increases.

I'm a little confused; we're talking about a $125m proposal in place of an $85m one... how is that downsizing? Or are you using an even earlier proposal as your point of reference?
