They make you an offer, clearly stating the T&C's and you can choose to accept it.
If you know you need 3 tix and the price is less than the 2 in a higher fare class, go ahead an pass on their offer
If your 3rd ticket is to a very expensive destination, or you don't know your schedule but think it is worth the extra $$ to have the option of a free ticket anywhere, take the offer.
I have no problems at all. Of course, I also expect people to be smart enough to read, consider the options, and make a smart decision. I have no sympathy for the 'victim syndrome' - it's all your fault because I couldn't bother to think.</font>
Very well said, CPRich. It's hard to swallow that the thread starter finds cruise line advertising 'deceptive' because they do not include the port tax. Newsflash--most business, including airlines, advertise the cost without the tax. Do you think Macy's includes a NY state sales tax in every item it advertises? When I book a room at Luxor in LAS, they quote me the rate without tax.
Sorry, but you are way, way off base.
