YouTube Video Description

Hey Cruisers, It's livestream time, but first we have to thank our wonderful sponsor CruiseLine.com. Drop by their site, and check it out: https://cruiseline.com?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=cttv. Today we talk about money saving tips. Special thanks to Caleb who surprised us with our first SuperChat! We also talk about Casinos on cruise ships, biodegradable sunscreens, drink packages on a cruise (are they worth it?), cruise ship excursions in Cozumel, tipping and gratuities on a cruise. We also detoured away from our money saving tips for cruisers, to talk about Alaska cruises, and Dunn River Falls in Jamaica. We also talked about how to get the best hotel deals for your pre cruise stay. Thanks to a great subscriber question we did a quick shout out about our favorite cruise related podcasts. We are experimenting with some CruiseTipsTV merchandise, and we brought a shirt we have been working on with Amazon. If we get enough interest in the cruise merchandise, we'll probably look for another more flexible distributor. For now, Amazon allows us to test things out, and get feedback from you our subscribers. Thank you all for your support, patience, thumbs up, and thank you so much for joining us today to make this such a fun "live stream" experience. NEW! We have merch!
