Creator's Key Takeaways

I have seen zero indication that price prices are coming down on Royal Caribbean.

I don't see the Carnival deal when you add in drinks and everything else.

Norwegian having its own little difficulties. Their quarterly wasn't as good as Royals.

Book as far in advance as possible to lock in pricing.
