The other issue to consider is would the customer have bought those drinks if they did not have the perk? If not then the true cost to RCI is the, maybe, couple of bucks worth of ingredients. So a Pin with their six drinks would be a cost of around $12 a day not $84 using $14 per drink retail.
I'm sure the amount of money one has spent in order to qualify for both of those perks more than covers any expenses incurred by RCI. Considering what the higher up Miami people are getting paid it is obvious that all of our cruise fare is not being consumed by operating the ship and our C&A amenities.
I know you told me once why you chose to fly from Boston but I can't remember the reason. The next time I fly out of Boston I might consider the train. Logan parking is expensive. You just never know what is going to happen with Amtrak. When it works it's fine but I've had my share of issues riding the trains.
Anyway, have a great trip. Is is going to start raining here tomorrow during our football game and continue until Sunday morning🙄
The North Atlantic is still feeling very peacefull and the air is very clear today. Both forks of Long Island, Orient and Montauk Points, are easily seen as well as Plum and Block Island. Unfortunately, they are not high enough above sea level for the camera to pick up.
