Do you really think this type of biz will be profitable from day 1? The company need to pump in huge amount of capital in the first few years. Look at the loss from 2016 uo until 2019. It is quite clear the company is moving towards profitability if pandemic did not happened. 2020 is the year where the loss went out of control mainly because cruise biz was totally stopped around the world. Its like Genting themepark? They spend so much building it. Do you really think its going to be profitable in the first few years?
apparently you just lazy to read the whole article from 2016

new industry capacity growth has outstripped demand. We believe Genting HK’s first mega cruise ship, Genting Dream, has managed an average occupancy rate of only 80%,” says UOB Kay Hian Research analyst Vincent Khoo in a report.
“In contrast, US cruise ships typically command an occupancy rate of more than 100% for lower berth capacity, which means Genting Dream will need to significantly lift its occupancy rate for Ebitda to break even.”
