Cruise Passengers Outraged Over $48 Cupcake Class
Is a $48 Cupcake Class Worth It?
Royal Caribbean has come under fire for offering a $48 per person cupcake decorating class on its cruises. The class, which takes place in the ship's Cupcake Cupboard, is just one of many optional activities available to passengers. The high price tag has left some travelers feeling frustrated and nickel-and-dimed.
The Cupcake Cupboard storefront is a cozy, inviting space on the ship, complete with a glass case displaying an assortment of cupcakes. However, the high price of the decorating class has overshadowed the charming atmosphere. Passengers are questioning the value of paying nearly $50 for a 30-minute activity.
Some passengers feel that the class is a rip-off, given the short duration and limited instruction. „I'd rather buy a dozen cupcakes and decorate them myself than pay $48 for a 30-minute class,”said one traveler. Others argue that the class is a unique experience and worth the cost. „It's a fun activity to do with my family, and the cupcakes are delicious,”said another passenger.
However, the majority of passengers seem to be on the side of those who feel the class is overpriced. Many have taken to social media to express their outrage and disappointment. „I'm shocked that Royal Caribbean would charge so much for a cupcake decorating class,”said one passenger. „It's just another way for them to nickel-and-dime us.” What Does This Say About Cruise Pricing?
