Answer 1

The main downside of discounting among upscale properties is giving an impression of a slide in service or standards. This is a consequence of the price-quality effect that many customers deem important.

Answer 2

The 1980-1989 decade marked the period when cruises first became popular. The 1990-1999 period was also strong but growth rates are harder to maintain when the base period grows.
