Creator's Key Takeaways

The reason I can Cruise so much is probably because my younger days and and the gambling I did in my younger days um they they sent me offers I gamble now I don't gamble nearly as much but without those offers I I I probably wouldn't be going as much

Pent up demand because of the pandemic people want to get out but but to go coincide with that is we the people that love cruising all we talk about is how great it is and you got to do it oh it's so much cheaper than land travel

The operating cost for these cruise lines and I'm talking about all the cruise lines the operating costs are now higher in general in 2023 2024 and as it goes on and on that's why you're starting to see on these ship options that were once free you might have to pay for a second dining option

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider casino deals for significant savings on cruises
Be flexible with travel dates to find better prices
Book during off-season for less crowded ships and better deals
