Creator's Key Takeaways

The cruise industry has a ton of challenges on the horizon.

Between those four ships, that is 8,800 cabins that have come online.

It is not outside the realm of possibility that we may see a couple of cruise lines or a cruise line actually go bankrupt and cease to exist.

The good news for us as cruisers, at least over the next year, is that we're going to see downward pressure on cruise fairs.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Use casino comps to get deals on cruises.
โœ“Look for downward pressure on cruise fares and deals on packages.
โœ“Consider that older ships may be retired, affecting availability.
