Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm Melissa, a university professor who loves to cruise and who loves to talk ship.

I love Carnival. If you follow my content, you know I'm Carnival's biggest fan girl.

I personally hate physical violence. I can't stand it. It's hard to watch.

I think this is a little bit of an overreach.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Carnival should significantly increase fines for fight-related offenses to $10,000 and publicly shame offenders.
βœ“Carnival should enforce bans at the first sign of altercation to prevent escalation.
βœ“Consumers should watch if cost-cutting measures affect cruise value and consider if cruising remains cost-effective.
