Creator's Key Takeaways

This was a fantastic cruise because well, when you cruise, a lot of the experience is about the people that you meet.

I don't really understand who this is for now. For someone who's chronically online, maybe that's why I can't get it.

Can we expect cruise lines to just make internet part of the package for everybody?

The problem is it creates this little uh I don't know, gilded jail almost because if it's really great for kids, that's where the kids are going to want to stay.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider paying for the full day internet package instead of hourly if you need connectivity.
If you have a choice, pick a cruise that goes through the old Panama Canal locks for a better experience.

YouTube Video Description

More Free Internet? Goodbye Old Friend? Carnival’s Family Jail? Making Cruise Friends In this episode, I share my experience on the MSC World America cruise, apologizing for shorter footage than planned because I spent so much time with new and old friends, making the trip unforgettable. I discuss Royal Caribbean’s $9.99/hour internet package, questioning its worth and wondering about the future of cruise Wi-Fi, suggesting free stateroom internet as a possibility, like hotels did years ago. I also explain Carnival’s choice to remove Family Harbor staterooms from Excel-class ships, noting it frees parents up by offering family-friendly cabins across the ship. Lastly, I say goodbye to Norwegian Sun, reminiscing about my Panama Canal and Cuba cruises on her, as she’s being sold. I mention my upcoming cruise plans, including visiting other ships and turning an annual event into a festive occasion. Don't Forget to: Like if you enjoyed the candid look at cruise life!
