Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm talking about a physical altercation involving lots and lots lot of people that goes on for an extended period of time we're talking a full-on brawl

Carnival has decided for whatever reason I don't know if it's because brawls happen here I don't know if it's because of cost probably because of cost but in yet another nickel and diming cut down cruise line thing they're eliminating late night pizza

John basically is saying hey as a cruise line we're going to start removing this upside down pineapple decoration from Cruiser doors and that to me is crazy

I do fully support this one but I want to know what you think so the decision for Carnival to ban Bluetooth speakers has come after years of lots of noise complaints

Creator's Tips & Advice

Cruise lines need to beef up security and enforce stricter punitive measures to stop brawls
Carnival should reconsider cutting late night pizza as it frustrates loyal cruisers
Carnival's Bluetooth speaker ban is a good move for guest comfort
Travelers should monitor Mexico's proposed $42 passenger fee as it may affect itinerary costs
