Creator's Key Takeaways

As a new cruiser, don't worry about it. Don't even think about it. Just stop.

The most important thing for you to do is find your cruise line. Find your vibe.

If you believe the cruise line is stealing, stop it. Stop it. You sound stupid.

Every every dollar, every penny that you pay in gratuitities... goes to the crew in some way, shape, or form.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“New cruisers should focus on finding their preferred cruise line and vibe before worrying about loyalty program benefits.
βœ“Look out for sailings that offer extra point benefits to quickly up your status once you've found your preferred line.
βœ“Do not worry that cruise lines are stealing gratuity money; it all goes to the crew.
