Creator's Key Takeaways
Carnival Cruise Line just quietly slid in a fee hike on December the 2nd, bumping its service charge from 18% to 20%.
A 2% jump sounds tiny, but on a seven night trip with packages and special dinner, families can see around $25 to $30 extra.
And with past trends, well, this could be the first of more price bumps coming.
