Creator's Key Takeaways

Carnival is raising their gratuity rates and I love I love all the news headlines that I've read so far

Wi-Fi's always been kind of an expensive luxury on a cruise ship so right now it's at $10.20 per day

we're going to have a family reunion group Cruise May 20th 2023 this year

Creator's Tips & Advice

Prepay gratuities to avoid a shock to your system when the charge hits your account
Tip extra for staff who go above and beyond, even if you pay the standard gratuities
Consider the social media plan for Wi-Fi if you only need basic connectivity
