I have come across people who are curious as to what one has paid for their cruise...then may gleefully declare a lower cost. or show glum faces over what they have paid for their cruise. Sometimes in the discussion, other costs might be brought up that were not covered...port fees, pre-paid gratuities, SBC, a group benefit... point is I am no longer willing to spoil my enjoyment of the cruise because of money. The bargain shopping happens before the cruise; once on the trip, enjoy yourself. I am not adverse to letting people know who is my travel agent but I am not poaching clients.---
We do cruise on other lines...just not as frequently. Hey, a bargain is a bargain.

Airline fares pretty much the same way -- you don't want to know what each person paid for the exact same flight to get you to the exact same place.
