Creator's Key Takeaways
now even though Cruisers are in a different boat than other Travelers and yes I have been waiting quite a while to be able to use that cruise pun
so firstly we should talk about the EAS now that is a new travel requirement that was supposed to come into effect in May 2025
now the latest one to increase their gratuities is Margaritaville aty that has changed their gratuities from $18 for a standard cabin to $20 per person per day
now a bigger one that may affect Cruisers is a new tourist tax in Mexico now this tourist tax had Cruisers exempt from this however it is very possible that this is going to be implemented
