For me, it's not about profit. It's about being annoyed on Vacation. It's annoying to be 'offered' 'upgrades' over and over. Guess what? I already chose the 'extra's' that I wanted. It's annoying to have to wade thru a sidewalk sale to go to and from the show.

 

I use an ad blocker in my browsers, on Facebook etc because I don't like to be annoyed when I'm online. I'm on the no call list because I don't like to be annoyed by telemarketers. I have a 'No Ads' sign in my mailbox so I don't get annoyed by unsolicited flyers. I unsubscribe from all emails I don't want and set up those where the unsubscribe doesn't work to my junk so I only have to deal with each of them once.

 

I wish there was some way to block the on board annoyances.

I am not one to reply randomly to a post but felt compelled to do so in this case. When you boarded the ship, did the person who offered you the drink package know that you had already taken care of it? You could have been a first time cruiser who did not know about this. You did not have a sign around your neck saying you had everything you needed and to not annoy you. When you are asked how you are doing, are you annoyed? You probably say you are fine and walk on. Why not do the same to the countless people who offer those add ons. Just say no thank you and walk on. I agree that it can be challenging to wade through the throngs of fellow vacationers to get to the show. When that happens again why not try an alternate route. Why do you continue to cruise when you are apparently dissatisfied? Just a question, not a judgement. There are endless things in the world that can be annoying but you can’t let them rule your life. On my upcoming cruise I plan to decline all of the requests for upgrades with a polite response and a smile on my face and continue to enjoy my vacation.
