This here talk is ’bout that air cruise. Sounds fancy, huh? Never thought I’d see the day, but I heard some folks are doing it. Flying around like birds, but for fun, not to get somewhere. Like those cruises on the water, but in the sky!
Now, I ain’t never been on one of them water cruises neither. Too much money for this old gal. But I hear things. People talk. They say those boat trips, they cost a pretty penny. This air cruise thing, I bet it’s even worse!
They say on them water cruises, you gotta pay for more than just the boat ride. Port fees, they call ’em. Like a parking fee, but for a big ol’ boat. And I reckon this air cruise has the same kinda thing. Gotta pay to land that big bird somewhere, right?
And then there’s all them extras. They nickel and dime ya, I hear. Want a fancy drink? That’ll cost ya. Want a good seat? That’ll cost ya too. They say a short boat trip, just a few days, can set ya back a few hundred bucks. For one person! Just for a tiny room. Three, four hundred dollars. That is a lot of money!
Now, a longer boat trip, a whole week? Oh, that’s even more. Could be six hundred, maybe even eighteen hundred dollars. For one person! Just to float around on the water. And they still charge you extra for everything. Imagine what a two week cruise costs! Maybe five dollars. Five dollars still some money you know.
So, this air cruise. If a boat trip costs that much, just imagine how much it costs to fly around in the sky! Gotta pay for the plane, gotta pay the pilot, gotta pay for all that fancy food and drinks they probably serve up there. It is crazy!
I heard one fella say it’s like those fancy hotels. The longer you stay, the more it costs. And the fancier it is, the more it costs. This air cruise, I bet it’s the fanciest of them all. Flying around like a king or queen. Must be nice.
This whole cruise cost thing is a mystery to me. They tell you one price, but then there’s all these other things you gotta pay for. It’s like buyin’ a pig in a poke, as they say. You don’t know what you’re gettin’ till you already paid for it.
- Base fare, they call it. That’s the main price.
- Then there’s additional charges. For this and that.
- Services, they say. Like it’s some kinda special treat to get a drink of water.
- And amenities. Fancy word for stuff. Like a pool or a show.
They got all these words for it. Makes it sound all important and special. But it all comes down to the same thing: money. Lots and lots of money. More money than I’ve ever seen in my whole life.
I reckon if you want to do this air cruise thing, you better have a deep pocket. Real deep. ‘Cause it ain’t gonna be cheap. Not by a long shot. They say it’s a whole ‘nother world up there. Maybe it is. But it’s a world that costs a whole lot of money to see.
They talk about the “intricacies of pricing“. Intricacies! Like it’s some kinda complicated puzzle. It ain’t that complicated. It’s just expensive. Plain and simple.
I seen some cruise deals in them emails they send. Makes it sound like you’re gettin’ a bargain. But I bet it’s still a lot of money. They lure you in with a low price, then hit you with all them extras.
This whole cruise vacation cost is somethin’ else. They say you gotta “understand the breakdown”. Like you’re some kinda expert. I don’t need to be an expert to know it’s too much money.
If you are going to do this kind of thing, you have to have a lot of money. A lot! You can fly to many places. For a long time! It must be very exciting.
Me? I’ll stick to my rocking chair on the porch. It ain’t fancy, but it’s free. And the view ain’t half bad, neither. I can see the sky just fine from here. Don’t need no air cruise to do that.
But hey, if you got the money, and you wanna fly around like a bird, more power to ya. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when your wallet’s empty. You will spend all your money! I told ya so! It is for sure.
