Rising holiday prices. Debatable
I have been wondering if the holiday companies rise their prices out of school term or do they lower their prices in school term so that they can get the customers.If this is the latter then we haven't an argument about the prices that are being charged when the children are on school holiday.

That is what I always thought Suzuki Sue but I wonder if you said anything to them would agree on that or say that is the proper price but we lower it in school term because we don't get so many holiday makers therefore we have to keep our prices lower to attract them?
It is so hard for families with young children. I go with my youngest daughter, son in law and Granddaughter and the prices are dreadful out of school term.

In some resorts/hotels I understand the added charges during the school holidays because during these times the resort provides, kids clubs, childrens entertainment, babysitter services etc which are not needed or provided the rest of the year so there are extra wages and cost to pay during those times.If you are just renting a house with no services added then the only reason for hiking the price is profit.
The prices do shoot up during school holidays even ferry or plane tickets double during the school breaks its silly prices and no wonder people take their children out of school during term time I bet for many its the only way to afford a holiday.

We are going away in July/August this year and were prepared for the usual price increase due to school holidays.We have also been compelled to look for a new Cattery for Cassie due to the closure of her usual one as the owners have retired.
What we weren't prepared for when viewing a suitable cattery was the fact that they also put their charges up for the school holiday period!
What on earth does school holidays have to do with cats? 
Luckily we have found one that charges the same all year round.

I also hate the single supplement lark. My cruise in 2003 for example. The s/s was 100% on top of the holiday cost price. An absolute rip off, which stops me from booking another.
