Cruise drink packages. Specialty dining. Spa treatments. WiFi. Priority boarding. Candy stores. We asked cruisers one simple question: What's the ONE thing you'll never pay for on a cruise again? What happened next caught us completely off guard. More than 79,000 people saw the post, over 10,000 reacted, and more than 1,000 comments poured in. We thought we knew exactly what the number one answer would be. We were wrong. This week on Ship Happens RAW, we're reacting to the cruise community's biggest regrets, hottest takes, funniest confessions, and the comments that stopped us in our tracks. From expensive spa treatments and drink package debates to candy stores, specialty dining, and feeling nickel and dimed, this episode wasn't written by us. The internet wrote this one. One person's biggest cruise regret turned out to be another person's favorite splurge, and somewhere in the middle of more than 1,000 comments, we realized this conversation wasn't really about being cheap. It was about value. So did cruisers get it right? Or are they completely out of their minds? Join us live as we react to the comments, debate the results, and let the audience decide.
