Creator's Key Takeaways

I would still prefer that they offset food waste by building the cost and the price of the cruise rather than just nickel and dimming their customers.

The comparison is taking a what was an all-inclusive vacation and making it alakart, right?

I'm tired of the tipping culture.

I don't care about loyalty programs because there's really nothing there worth caring about.
