That the problem in a nutshell. I want the RCCL ship/demographics, without the nickel and diming.
I'm sure that people would gladly pay a disneyesqe daily surcharge to not be nickel and dimed. Think $50 per day more and unlimited use of everything. But again these charges are more in place to discourage people from using the alternative dining options (thus keeping the lines down), they are not about generating significant revenue. The bars take care of that quite nicely.
