How do the discounts work on the cruises and how is it that Coastal Vacations members can take an ocean cruise for taxes, processing fees and port fees only?
Cruise ships are on a strict schedule and must sail whether or not they are at full capacity. Passengers paying taxes, port fees & processing fees only for their cabins, will also spend money while on their trip. The cruise lines know you will spend money at the bars, casinos, gift shops, and during shore excursions. Usually, the amount of money spent by each passenger equals or exceeds the original cost of the cruise itself. For that reason, in order to benefit from the additional revenue, the Cruise Lines know that it is better to fill empty cabins for pennies on the dollar, rather than sail with empty cabins. In addition, Cruise Lines have done studies and found that the majority of first time cruisers tend to continue to sail with the same Cruise Line on which they enjoyed their first voyage. This ensures repeat bookings at regular rates in the future, as well as great word of mouth advertising.
