TRAVEL TIPS

My cruise advertised unlimited food but started charging extra for basic restaurants onboard. Is that misleading?

Cruise lines love the phrase “unlimited food” because it sells the dream of carefree holiday eating. But some passengers say that dream gets murkier when extra charges start appearing for venues they thought were part of the package. The key question is not whether a cruise can charge more for some dining, because many do, but whether the advertising made the limits clear enough before booking.

My hotel charged me a "view fee" because I requested a higher floor. Is that becoming a real thing now?

You ask for a higher floor, hoping for a quieter night and a better view, and suddenly there is a charge attached. For some travelers, that surprise has started to feel uncomfortably familiar. The short answer is yes, room location and view-based pricing are very real, but they are not exactly new.

TRAVEL TIPS

Worse? They also say your ticket is nonrefundable.
