Richard, don't feel bad for posting this here. I don't think anyone here minds a lively discussion, even debate, about cruise topics. Nor do I see an insistance on only saying positive things about RSSC. There surely were enough unhappy people posting their opinions when the new tier levels were first released!

And I really think you need to forgive yourself. I promise you, nobody here blames you either for their going AI, or for the price increases. My personal belief is that the increased fares have little if anything to do with the AI. There are more than enough market factors for RSSC to raise their prices that have nothing to do with booze. And of course we'll all do our voting with our feet, right? :)
