Onboard and other
Onboard and Other Revenue
Onboard and other revenue consists of revenue derived from the sale of goods and services rendered onboard the ships (net of related concessionaire costs), travel insurance (net of related costs), and cancellation fees. 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.

Payroll, related and food consists of the costs of crew payroll and related expenses for shipboard personnel, as well as food expenses for both passengers and crew. We include food and payroll costs in a single expense line item as we contract with a single vendor to provide many of our hotel and restaurant services, including both food and labor costs, which are billed on a per-passenger basis. This per-passenger fee reflects the cost of both of the aforementioned expenses.
