Creator's Key Takeaways

maybe 20 years ago but not so much today

you're going to look through a lot of websites are going to tell you an average Cruise rate per person including Carnival's website themself keep in mind that's not going to include your Port charges and taxes

if you don't have Cruise insurance you're not going to get a refund

I strongly recommend buying your surest version from the cruise line as I said it does cost more

Creator's Tips & Advice

Always check the final cost of the cruise including port charges and taxes before booking.
Purchase travel insurance to cover cancellations and medical emergencies.
Buy shore excursions directly from the cruise line for protection.
Consider the faster to the fun package if you want early boarding and perks.
