Creator's Key Takeaways
Well, we've got four cruisers that have been arrested in a situation that authorities say could have been fatal.
I applaud the efforts. I guess let me throw out a public service announcement. Hello criminals. Do you desire to smuggle drugs into a foreign country on cruise ships?
Another 2.5% tax, not that big a deal. I don't think people are going to, you know, lose their mind about it.
On both Princess Premiere and Princess Plus, your daily allotment for bottled water is 12. So you can get 12 bottles of water each day, and they don't count against your drink count.
