Do y0u think that labeling a vacation as ''all-inclusive'' is deliberately misleading advertising, when it's more than likely that the consumer will have to pay additional amounts after arriving?

Case Study 3: Which Is the Real All-Inclusive Deal? A seven-day stay at an all-inclusive resort or a seven-day all-inclusive cruise? At first glance, the only factor that seems to matter in the decision is whether you get seasick. But buyer beware! Not every all-inclusive package includes everything, and the difference between the cruise and the land stay could be more than you think. Cruises and resorts tend to include different amenities in their base prices. On a mainstream cruise, you'll generally receive accommodations, onboard activities and entertainment, all meals and snacks, certain beverages during meal times, the use of the ship's facilities (such as the pool, kids' club, and fitness center), and transportation between ports of- call. However, you'll have to fork over some extra cash for soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, gratuity, spa visits, onshore excursions, airfare, and airport transfers. Keep in mind that luxury lines sometimes include gratuity and alcohol in the base price. Of course, all-inclusive resort packages usually include accommodations, all meals and beverages, access to the resort's facilities, nightly entertainment, use of all non-motorized water-sports equipment (things like snorkeling gear, sailboats, and windsurfing boards) and gratuity. That's a lot more than the cruise offers . . . land resorts just seem to include more. It appears that the decision between an all-inclusive cruise and an all-inclusive resort vacation involves more than simply asking yourself "do I like boats?" However, it's important to remember that if what you really want is a cruise, no amount of amenities at a land resort will make up for missing out on a vacation at sea
