Also included in Onboard and other revenue is gross revenue from pre- and post-cruise hotel accommodations, shore excursions, land packages, and related ground transportation for which we assume the risks of loss for collections and cancellations. Certain of our cruises include free unlimited shore excursions (“FUSE”) and/or free pre-cruise hotel accommodations, and such free excursions and hotel accommodations have no revenue attributable to them. The costs for FUSE and free hotel accommodations are included in commissions, transportation and other expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
