YouTube Video Description

Today I need to walk you through several things that really surprised me — and I think you need to be aware of them too. First, one of our Antarctica excursions disappeared just two weeks before sailing, with no email notification at all. We were automatically rebooked, and while the new excursion looks wonderful, the lack of communication is concerning. We’re also talking about changes Elite cruisers are noticing on Princess, including what may be happening to the Elite lounge experience and why you need to carefully watch your shipboard account, especially if you request a minibar swap. And finally, there’s a cruise line collecting a tax that isn’t even being collected yet — and if you don’t catch it, you may have to stand in line to get your money back.
