If a cruise line makes a huge pricing mistake, is it required to honor it?
Patrick Gendron thinks so. He recently found an incredible deal for a suite on a 10-night cruise through the Mediterranean on Azamara’s Pursuit.

Now Gendron wants to know if we can force Azamara to give him the two suites for what he paid. But is his request reasonable? Read more “This is what happens when a cruise line makes a big pricing mistake (and you book it)”
