Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Where did you come up with the $2-3000 number? Your second point makes no sense to me. People actively seek out cruising, ships stop at ports and passengers spend money on the local economy, you are not captive at a land based resort. If it is in a land based resorts best interest to be all inclusive why wouldn't it be in the cruise lines interest to be all inclusive. The reason resorts went to all inclusive was to provide a hassle free experience for their customers. It's huge selling point for that industry.
  2. The all inclusive resort chain we go to is expanding all of their existing properties where possible and expanding to more islands throughout the Caribbean so their plan is obviously working. Other land based resorts in the Caribbean are also moving to all inclusive so they must be doing something consumers like. I could be mistaken but I think there are cruise lines that are all inclusive.
  3. People are going to do what they are going to do. We found the all inclusive experience much more relaxing and enjoyable. No need to carry around extra cash and worry about what the right amount to tip is. Like I said it's an outdated model that they should revise. Just my opinion. Carry on.
  4. All inclusive with no tipping would resolve some of these problems. We vacation at all inclusive resorts and the no tipping policy makes for a much more relaxing vacation. The whole gratuities as part of the employee compensation package is outdated. So is the drink and dining package.
