I'm just wondering how many people on this board doesn't know that the cruise lines get a percentage of the cost for an excursion that's booked through the ship. I agree that if the 1st part is true, then the cruise line should be punished, but the 2nd part bothers me. Did that passenger think that the cruise line was doing this out of the goodness of their heart. I do believe that evryone who has a business is in it for some profit, and this does include cruise lines. I, for one, have some stock in the cruise lines, and hope that they profit nicely. :huh:
