Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean was doing away with their perks that they would give you if you booked a balcony facing the boardwalk or facing Central Perk on the Central Perk Center park on the Oasis class ships

they announced that they're doing away with that not only were they doing away with it but the even if you had booked your cabin right now for a cruise next year with those perks they were taking it away from you

they're adding a 14 percent surtax or surcharge if you will on that per person for those people who are getting the perk

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Check if a free beverage package actually includes gratuities or surcharges
βœ“Be aware that perks can be removed even for future bookings
βœ“Calculate the true cost of 'free' perks before accepting them

Just the very enticing low cruise prices. So this is how they are now trying to raise the cost of your cruise without raising that base price.
