Creator's Key Takeaways

Well, cruise fees are on the rise again.

Princess Cruise Line has made an announcement that it is increasing its service fees on food and beverage and other retail services from 18% to the assigned gratuities.

If you want to see this Lunatic pop-up circus show, it's going to cost you $44.99.

I still say yes. But honestly, as that yes turns to a maybe and a no, I think the cruise industry will struggle.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Hold on to your wallet because cruise lines want more money.
If you've already purchased Princess cruise packages, you're locked in at the old price.
Consider if specialty entertainment shows are worth the extra cost, especially if you don't drink alcohol.
