5 Recent CHANGES & CUTBACKS on Cruises that Are NOT Good for Cruisers

Cruising has changed a lot over the last year. Cruising is still a great vacation, however recent cutbacks announced by some cruise lines and other changes have made me consider, is this is really good for cruise passengers. Beyond the headline cruise news, there have been some changes on cruises that may have been temporary through the cruise restart, but in some cases result in a permanent change. Other changes on cruises are the result of changes in travel requirements, but can be confusing to cruise passengers. In this video I share information and opinion about Carnival cruise line changes and cutbacks, technology on cruises, cruise gratuities and more. Please let me know your thoughts in the video comments. RESOURCES I RECOMMEND 🛳 THE ULTIMATE CRUISE PLANNER 🛳 Get the Life Well Cruised ULTIMATE CRUISE PLANNER ($10 off for a limited time).
