I’m currently reading a book on the 80s LA Rock music scene Nothing But A Good Time and it’s quite clear Jon is a businessman. They way he refused to relinquish his half in the Skid Row deal (Richie just turned round and said I already have more money than I know what to do with so you can take me off the contract) and also the band Trixter were struggling with their 2nd album and he offered them a slot on the KTF tour....for £100k which they didn’t have so couldn’t do it.
He loved telling Skid Row I own you whenever things got heated on the road.

What he is doing with these cruises is just selling to the bored housewives that workshop him. Look at most of the replies to Matt, 90% of them are women who think Jon’s cute. He knows this and plays to it. They’ll buy all the tacky memorabilia on the boat and pay $$$$ for anything Jon related.

The cruises have nothing to do with Jon Bon Jovi the artist it’s all about Jon Bon Jovi the businessman. The set will be half covers and Jon on autopilot. He’s on and off the boat in a few hours.
