The tipping, wifi charges, high drink prices, dishonest advertising, etc. are insulting to me. Why would a company expect me to tip their employees automatically, and why would they charge me for wifi that is free everywhere else? I think I'll do something else with my money instead. Why doesn't someone offer an upfront, fixed price deal with no mandatory tipping and other bogus charges?

There are all-inclusive cruise lines where most everything is included in the price, such as Azamara, Crystal, Regent, Seabourn, Silversea, etc. They will welcome your "plenty of money" and you will have a great cruising experience.
