Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean should enforce the sharing rules on board instead of punishing people who follow them.

It makes no sense to punish loyal members who followed the rules for years.

They can't justify driving 8 hours or paying for flights just for a three-ight cruise.

They're all for tipping good service, but making staff rely on tips when the company is making billions in profit feels wrong.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book with a refundable deposit to maintain pricing flexibility.
Consider alternative cruise lines if you value loyalty benefits and longer itineraries.
