[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Single person should obviously pay less. It's per person. Kids = person. Single person shouldn't be punished for not wanting or having kids! [/quote]

It’s obviously their choice. They can choose to stay home or only vacation with other adults. It matters not to me.[/quote]

Sounds like she’s be better off not vacationing with such a pompous and selfish person anyway. Why should a single person have to pay a premium to put up with your annoying kids?[/quote]

But they are not paying a premium. A crappy beachfront hotel would cost even more.[/quote]

Not only would they have a crappy beachfront hotel, they would be sharing the dining rooms, pool, exercise room with all the hundreds of other guests at the hotel.

I... think you think this tradeoff is favorable to singles, but it really isn't. We go on the group trips to be with people, not because it's some kind of deal. Trust me, most of us would gladly pay more for our own space, peace and quiet, more freedom to do whatever, whenever, wherever, without waiting for a bathroom that your kid splashed water all over or asking for a snack every 10 seconds, or waiting for everyone to get their sh!t together because jesus, we were supposed to leave 20 minutes ago Then a half hour ago. Now 45 minutes ago, and now our reservation is lost.

We go with the group because it's the agreeable thing to do, not because it's some kind of awesome price perk. [/quote]

Yeah, well same goes with the parents of kids.  They do group trips like this not because they particularly enjoy cramming their families into small rooms or shushing their children in the mornings to keep the noise level down so that the other adults (you) can sleep in, or policing their children's bathroom usage and keeping the bathroom acceptable for "sharing" with an adult or stressing about making it out the door on time for a reservation at a very kid UNfriendly restaurant that you want to try. They do these group rentals as an opportunity to be with other people.

The perk to the whole thing is that together you all get to spend time together while enjoying an oceanfront house with a game room, pool, hot tub, large living spaces, etc. that you most likely would not be able to afford all on your own.[/quote]
