THE ONLY WAY THAT A CONSORTIUM CAN WORK IS FOR IT TO BLOCK BOOK A LARGE NUMBER OF CABINS IN A NEGOTIATED DEAL WITH THE CRUISE LINE. THEY WOULD THEN HAVE TO SELL THE SPACE. SOMETIMES THEY LET SOME SPACE GO BELOW THEIR AVERAGE COST JUST TO GET RID OF EVERYTHING. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN VERY OFTEN; AT LEAST, THAT IS MY UNDERSTANDING.
