Creator's Key Takeaways

I've renamed it as the uh VIFP, which they're not calling it anymore, but I'm going to call it the very incompetent failed program.

The more you look at it the more you realize it's just for Casino Players and that is all they care about now.

We are no longer a carnival family. We are a carnival commodity.

I'm going to be canceling a lot of them.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Don't book specialty dining.
✓Don't do shore excursions with them.
✓Don't do spa treatments.
✓Don't spend any money on the cruise ship that is going to benefit Carnival.
✓Do it all with private companies ashore.
