Creator's Key Takeaways

The most basic concept in economics is supply and demand It ultimately governs pricing as reducing the supply of something while demand remains steady leads to an increase in the cost

I do believe they're going forward in the short to medium term we will need to stump up more for cruising locally or begin to compare the options presented by fly cruise packages

the fact that cruise lines are moving in unison speaks to me about something else

I would love to get to a place where more Australians consider a cruise holiday as part of their International holiday plans

Creator's Tips & Advice

Compare the cost of cruising internationally with local options
Consider fly cruise packages to access newer ships and overseas destinations

In this video, I explore why major cruise lines like Royal Caribbean, Princess, and Carnival are cutting back capacity and how this could be the start of a “great cruise reset.” Is this a strategic move to raise prices, or is there something bigger at play?
