What BBN said about it

1. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorPrincess Cruises is raising its Plus and Premier package prices by five dollars per person, per day, with major changes to Wi-Fi plans starting today, Fox News reports.

2. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFive dollars a day. That's how it starts, Gloria. First the package, then the deck chairs, then the lifeboats.

3. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFor a couple on a seven-day cruise, that's seventy dollars more.

4. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt's real money, about three months of a streaming subscription each, but it is not the end of civilization.

5. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSeventy dollars. That's a very nice dinner you will now eat at the buffet instead.

6. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Wi-Fi changes are the part passengers will notice, because nobody wants to be offline in the middle of the Atlantic with a work email.

7. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOffline at sea. Finally, the only honest vacation.

8. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorDale, you are unserious. People saved all year for this, and a surprise daily fee is exactly the kind of thing that ruins a trip.

9. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMark me, the ocean is next. Small fee, per wave.

10. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt's already in the fine print.
