Ah ok. This makes A LOT more sense!
Answer is not as easy. I'll start by saying I often drop weight on my cruises, but not do to reduced calories, but often due to reduced carbs. I tend to run a little flat by the end, so take that into consideration.
As to what's the best way? Nobody is going to know that but you. I personally like to run my calories a bit on the low side on my non training days and have a carb feast after training, with buckets of calories and mixing bowls full of food. My body reponds well (IMO) to this sort of abuse
I do this because I can put fat on easily, I find the low non training days help keep my carb sensative. and that the extra calories and carbs after training and handled very well (both digestively and in filling me out). I'm still tinkering with it, but where I am now today with my diet was about 3 or 4 years of adjusting and readjusting, (honestly over 8 years if you count from the beginning) and I'm still adjusting.
I'd honestly suggest giving your best guess, given what you know about yourself (you can use this post as a sounding board if you feel like getting some additional feed back), and head in a direction. Note what happens, what you liked, what you disliked, use that data and tweak it. I understand it's not a hard line "this is answer", but such a thing does not exist. I hope that some of my thought process above helped a bit. Let me know if you have any other questions or require some calrification.
