I hate to see you feeling so betrayed and used. I'm sure there were many factors besides what those of us on CC and LCT posted, that led them to their policy and pricing decisions. And you are right -- if they are charging too much, folks won't cruise 'em, and the prices will go down again! :)
To me this is worth repeating as it summarizes exactly my feelings.
That's the beauty of free market forces.... if people don't come they will have to lower their prices ( if they want to at least cover their fixed costs). And if they are priced at the point where supply meets demand, their prices will stay there. And if they have waitlists and higher demand than expected at these prices, their prices will rise. We might not like it but that's the way it works.
I also agree with LeeAnne that you are being too hard on yourself. I wouldn't in a million years "blame" you for whatever flaws their pricing model has.
