Creator's Key Takeaways

I don't want to talk down the medallion, but we're having issues with it more than once a day.

It's stupid small amounts of money. It's the principle of it.

I'm a rule follower, John calls me, and I expect the businesses I deal with to be rule followers.

Cruising is the best way to vacation, but sometimes the nickel and diming gets a little out of hand.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Buy Plus or Premier package to avoid small charges
Be vigilant about checking your account for phantom charges
Use cash tips for room service and crew to ensure they receive them

YouTube Video Description

It's a sea day on Caribbean Princess and the seas are choppy. From Deal or No Deal to trivia and the Captain's Circle loyalty event, we spent most of the day indoors. Cruising is the best way to vacation, but sometimes the nickel and diming gets a little out of hand. At this point I think it just makes the most sense to buy Plus or Premier and avoid all of these little charges, which is what we do from this cruise forward. Thanks for watching and we will see you tomorrow for a day on the ship in Cartagena, Colombia!
