Norwegian Cruise Line to hike service charges to levels never seen before

[Host Mike]

"The new rate for passengers staying in most cabins will be $20 per person per day — a $4 increase. Passengers staying in The Haven suite area on Norwegian ships and in other suites will face a $25 per person per day service fee."

"The net result is that Norwegian service charges are up as much as 35% in less than a year for some cabin categories."

Ed: It is likely that non of these outrageous onboard fees is part of your cruise agent's sales commission

Why don't they pay their employees a better wage?
Seems like they just want to pass the issue off on their customers. I'm sure many people will adjust them down to what they feel is an adequate amount.
