BusinessWeek's article regarding PVEI's cruise operation between Palm Beach and Nassau...

...includes some additional tidbits regarding the other cruise ship at the Port, the Bahamas Celebration. Specifically, the number of passengers carried by the Celebration. For the period 10/1/2013 through 8/30/2014, just over 330,000 passengers used the service (which goes to Freeport, Bahamas).

Based on today's PR, the itinerary for PVEI's cruise is a two-night affair, similar to the Celebration's two-night itinerary:

Pricing for the Celebration's itinerary starts at $119 per person for the "interior coach" cabin, and runs up to $389 per person for the "deluxe suite" cabin:

Now, here's my oversimplified speculation. If PVEI's cruise were to get 100,000 of those passengers at an average of $159 per person (derived from Celebration's lowest 5 pricing tiers), that's $15.9 million dollars in gross revenue for the season. Throw in the top 3 pricing tiers, and it's a bit more.

Just having some fun playing with numbers!
