Creator's Key Takeaways

well unfortunately it appears that cruising is about to get way more expensive than it's been over the past couple years

Royal Caribbean is cutting the daily housekeeping services in half so when you get on board you're going to have to meet with your cabin Steward and decide do I want a morning service or do I want an afternoon evening kind of Turn Down style service

Norwegian Cruise Line is setting themselves up to be one of the most if not the most expensive Mainline Cruise experience sailing out of the U.S as they have once again increased their daily gratuities on board their ships

Princess Cruise Line is also setting the bar a lot higher on their daily gratuities as well as their internet it is going Sky High on Princess Cruise Line

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Expect only one cabin steward service per day on Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas
βœ“Plan for higher daily gratuities on Norwegian Cruise Line starting January 1, 2023
βœ“Budget for increased internet costs on Princess Cruise Line starting February 20, 2023
