Just noticed Carnival excursions went up in price

Years ago, I was also know to print my own tender tickets. Carnival tended to use the same Avery blanks. -

or.... book the cheapest cruise line excursion to throw away have status or other priority to tender including making friends with someone who does have status. on European cruises, one time we took a (small) bus load of people off with our priority. get everyone up early enough to be at the front of the line for tender tickets. often the ship excursions do not begin tendering first thing and the early birds can indeed tender before the rest of the ship knows what is going on. Cruise lines do make it possible for people without priority to tender early if you follow the process. Even if a port has tenders, things happen - e.g. the union decides to strike for whatever reason. -

This is not exclusive to Carnival. On my current cruise, Oceania docked one ship in Ushuaia and tendered a second with ship tenders. Falkland Islands doesn't have a tender company and all cruise lines use their own tenders. It took hours to tender everyone ashore, and then hours to tender everyone back. The last tender time posted was a dream. -

Cruise line tours are local tours under contract to the cruise line. How do you figure the locals make more? -

Oh please. You are smart enough to know inflation does not only impact Carnival and the economy in many other countries is worse than in the US. Europe has been much more impacted by the war than the US. In looking ahead, it isn't Europe that loses... https://www.ecb.europa.eu/pub/economic-bulletin/focus/2022/html/ecb.ebbox202201_01~4bb2c93b96.en.html#:~:text=For 2023%2C all annual forecasts,sees inflation being below 2%. -

Exactly. The grocery store didn't notify me when they raised the price or pork or eggs. Or the gas station. or anyone else. Airfares are horrible. When their costs go up, they pass them along. -
We agree to disagree. The company is irrelevant as long as you completely disembark.

Aka discriminatory.

The cruise ship. If the cruise line had a different ship available for a s2s, it would be fine. There are exceptions, for example Puerto Rico

Do a side to side and you're good. B2B on the same ship without a stop in a DISTANT foreign port is a violation. A foreign flagged ship, with few exceptions, can't operate as a ferry.
