From Cruise Industry News:

Mass market cruises are by far more profitable than luxury
cruises, according to research released by the Cruise Lines
International Association. The average cruiser spends $1,546
for a mass market cruise and onboard spending, while a
luxury passenger spends $2,200. The difference is that the
luxury costs the operator much more in terms of service,
food and amenities. A full analysis of the study is
presented in the current issue of Cruise Industry News – the
newsletter.
