This from todays USA Today (page D1) apparently regarding traveling with teenagers on a cruise:
"The kids get a set amount of money put on their sea pass account, normally $40 a day. (It sounds like a lot, but video games are almost $2 each.) Sometimes they bring their own money or earn more before we go." Five-Rileys
Okay.
I take it that Five-Rileys are a family of five. This would imply two parents and three kids. There could be variations, but work with me here.
Three kids.
$40 a day per kid = $120 a day.
Let's say its a short 5 day cruise.
5 times $120 a day = $600.
$600. For three kids to play video games that they would have been happier to do at home!
Oh yeah. Plus the cost of the cruise.
"It sounds like a lot"!?
It is a lot!
But "Sometimes they bring their own money".
There's always that, I guess...

I was thinking the same things as I read your post. It is a lot!!
It's pathetic. If they're on a cruise, why would I want them playing video games anyway?!!
