I'm always so confused as to why people say Carnival went up on prices. Carnival is just trying to make money, etc. I mean duh. They are a for profit company. Their vendors go up on them so they have to pass it along.
I get the same comment from my customers. When vendors go up on people the company has to as well. They aren't in business to give charity cruises or services.
Also, its ALL cruise lines and all industries.
