One percenters don’t go on the popular cruise lines hardly at all. They demand “the right crowd and no crowding”.
Isn’t that the truth! I have been on quite a few cruises in my life and they feed you practically all day long.
YOU are a pansy woman. Get a grip......NO ONE, I repeat NO ONE was dissing your DIL!!
I defer to you. I have limited myself to fully crewed sailboats of 56’ or so with no more than 8 paying passengers. I will never set aboard a “cruise ship”
Well, I’ve kind of been on the opposite side of that. About 30 years ago I used to work for a wholesale Hawaii/Mexico tour company. I took a vacation to Cancun and booked myself into a moderate hotel that had a nice beach and was supposed to be a “superior” room with free breakfast and lunch buffet. I sold this hotel a lot, recommending it to travel agents as a good deal for customers on a budget. When we got there, they put us in a “standard” category room that was like a jail cell, then made us pay extra to upgrade. Then they told us the buffet wasn’t included. When I showed them our documents that said it was, the manager said “we keep telling them (our company) it’s not included”, even though I know damned well it was in our contract with them. When I got back and told the owner about my experience we dropped them.
I’m not defending anyone’s behavior, but if they were on a guided tour that was supposed to include certain meals, maybe they weren’t getting what they had paid for. There could be two sides to the story.
No, he's exactly right. I've been on an Alaska Cruise as recently as a few years ago. You pay out the nose for food on the cruise ship and there's zero excuse to eat anywhere OTHER THAN the cruise ship as a result.
Having said that, Tracy's Crab Shack in Juneau F'ing RULES!!!!! Worth every penny!
No thanks to Wong Kim Ark.
That is shameful.
Those cruise ship passengers are probably counting their pennies at that point after paying thirty bucks for a hamburger on the dock.
Then she is an American not Chinese. WTF are you even on the right web site? No one said shit about you flower DIL but you are an idiot. People observing a completely different culture behave and you tied your DIL to them. Sounds like you have the issue/problem.
This article makes little sense. What kind of cruise passenger would even want to visit some dirty homeless shelter to have some of their stale doughnuts and coffee anyhow?
However, from being in Ketchikan, I can confirm that coffee and donuts in Ketchikan are far pricier than in the lower 48, so the likely reason why someone would go there is to save money on food in order to buy the over-priced souvenirs at the shops near the dock.
“WTF are you even on the right web site? “
To annoy people like you.
