Creator's Key Takeaways

sometimes you book a trip and have amazing plans and then life happens and things change

we got a call that one of our our kids uh needed to go in for surgery or was sick and ultimately had to go in for surgery

they said we would get our port fees and taxes back but the actual Cruise Fair um that was not something that could be refunded

through the Chase Sapphire Reserve card they did end up refunding our our entire cruise Fair
