I have travelled solo for several years and deeply resent what I dubbed the “Loser Tax.” Why am i paying for twice the food and amenities for my single (yet awesome) self? It’s pure profit for the cruise line for no good reason, IMO.
I understand the economics of it - they could sell my cabin to two people and make double the money. But by the same logic they could sell that double occupancy to THREE people and make more money again - so why not charge the couple more money to pay for that unused pull-out couch.
I get it - it’s all about corporate greed at the end of the day. But as someone who has paid the loser tax more than once I’d love the opportunity for a tax refund at some point.
