They are unaware that the maps are leading them to stores whose revenue goes straight back to the ship. Before cruise passengers go onshore to one of their ship's destinations, they are given shopping lectures and store maps with the industry's recommendations for the best deals and the highest quality products. But what the passengers aren't told is that these stores have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual fees to be listed. If the people were paying attention (or weren't so greedy), or if they had ever been to a cruise ship destination like Cozumel when they were not on a cruise, this wouldn't be a surprise to them. It's no worse than those art auctions. |
