Creator's Key Takeaways

Carnival Cruise Line shared a couple of price increases that will impact our next cruise.

They shared yesterday evening via email, "We're increasing the price of two different things. One is our gratuitities. They were $16 per person per day. For standard stateaterooms, they're going up to $17 per person per day. One whole dollar. And for sweets, they were $18. Now they're $19. $1 per person.

But people are upset about gratuitities. We'll talk about them more in just a second.

I'm going to give Carnival some credit here. I'm going to call them out. Number one, they let us have some time to secure these items at the old price.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Secure items at the old price before April 2nd to avoid the increase.
Consider the overall trend of price increases over the last several years when evaluating changes.
