Reminds me of the old optometrist joke.

 

How do they price glasses? When you put them on he says $250.00. If you don't flinch, he says for the frames. The lenses are $150.00. If you still don't react, he says each.

 

And even those numbers are low these days!

I said it was old joke!

Oh I understood that.  I was just commenting on the obscene price of new glasses these days!

They are really hoodwinking you, they are telling you your eyes are worse and you need new lenses when all that happened is the old lenses just wore out from use, just like every other physical thing.

We've found whenever we sail with my brother and his family we always save money with the kids sail free and he does not.  Looks like if you only have one child the sale isn't sale, but having two kids in the room makes me worth while.  We saved over $300 on our upcoming cruise when we repriced during the kids sail free.  So from my experience if you only have one child in the room it isn't a sale.

Well to be fare the Ad does say Kids (Plural) sail free. I’m sure if you called that’s the angle they would work.

You can't make this up. The great mathematicians are all turning in their grave.

 

All this angst over the cost of one Labadoozie is killing me.

All of their promotions are nothing but Smoke and Mirrors. 

 

Ok, how does Royal have a valid sale with a policy that allows existing customers to get these new lower prices.🤔

They make up this number, depending on how the monthly fake sale terms change. 

 

i spent all weekend trying to do the math in order to compare the sale against my booking. i wish i had seen this thread earlier. plus i have a refundable deposit on mine which apparently makes the math even more crazy.
