Why Cruise Lines Make WAY MORE Money Than Airlines
An airline keeps about six dollars per passenger on your entire trip. A cruise line carrying you the same distance keeps far, far more — and it's not because the ticket includes more food, lodging, or entertainment. The real reason two nearly identical industries end up with completely different bank accounts comes down to something most passengers never notice. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian all run out of the same American cities and sell to the same American travelers — so why does one of these industries print money while the other scrapes by on pocket change? The answer isn't better service. It's structural. And it's been hiding in plain sight for over a hundred years. 🇺🇸 Watch to find out why cruise lines quietly win a game airlines were never allowed to play.
