Creator's Key Takeaways

Spirit is an interesting ship. It has a very quirky decor.

Carnival is creating a stir because uh yes, it's very rocky.

They completely overhauled the VIFP program. So, it's not right away. It takes effect next June.

I love Virgin. It's adults only. So, if you have kids, I can't always go on Virgin.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you're in a balcony stateroom and your air conditioning doesn't seem to work, chances are your door is not locked.
If you're worried about room temperature on Jubilee, look up room reviews for your specific room number on YouTube.
If you have a casino offer from one cruise line, leverage it to get offers from other cruise lines through status matching.
Always get travel insurance, whether a single trip or annual plan.
