I can understand if people sail in a lower priced cabin in a mass market line. But to pay the same amount of money as in Regent and not have even soft drinks included makes no sense!

I might go in a mass market line next summer to Alaska with my kids :( .Quite frankly I don't see the point to spend all the money to upgrade to a junior suite. The ship you share with the other 2000+ people is still the same. So, I'll save my money and make do with a regular outside cabin.
