Cruise ships are hoping to make more money off you with the commodities from the ship so that's why they make their rooms cheap?

upcharge if want alcoholic drinks or drinks in general beyond water. specialty restaurant. various other things.

i wouldn't want to get on a ship. (great odd's of getting covid) then again maybe it's not much of a problem anymore (despite it killing a good deal of people every month).

If it was all inclusive I imagine it'd be a lot more expensive.

Occupany rates are higher on cruise ships, they can lower prices as the voyage dates get near and move voyages when demand is high. Hotel buildings cost more, and staff are local, cruises can hire international workers who accept $18,000 a year as a very very very lucrative wage

Also most cruise ships have on board casinos since they don't have to worry about local gambling laws once they're in international waters.

That last part is huge.

Last cruise I went on I befriended a few of the casino dealers. We went out for drinks at one of the ports and they talked about how they basically make $20 grand for what equates to 8 months of work. BUT they dont pay for their room or food, so they basically send every dollar back home

I dont understand why Carnival Cruises doesnt start an abortion cruise line that does nothing but sail around the Gulf of Mexico and south Alantic seaboard helping out pregnant ladies.

Maritime law!

cruise lines give away/discount rooms because the ship is going to be sailing whether it has empty rooms or not, and even people in free rooms will spend money on other stuff.

hotels don't give away free rooms because...why would they?
