It's become the new bait and switch industry. Do you remember when lobster was on the menu most every night? Remember when it became lobster night once per cruise ? Now your lucky if you find a lobster in the specialty restaurants that you pay extra for. To add insult to injury lobster may have a surcharge in the specialty restaurant you paid extra for. How about formal night. What a crock that is. Let's see I'm getting dressed up for my wife who seen me where a suit to work for 30 years. But I get to lug around extra set of clothes that I'll wear for a couple hours. Now I remember that was "the bait" the cruise line used to take your picture and sell them as memories at the end of the cruise. No wonder there is a surcharge on lobster now - everyone has a cell phone with a camera. Goodbye to that revenue stream.
