Creator's Key Takeaways

Norwegian has been the most public with their cost cutting measures and it really took a lot of people in the industry by surprise

Royal Caribbean is definitely changing that so now you get your one lobster tail and if you want an additional lobster tail it's going to cost you 16 each

Carnival is also increasing gratuities and some fees so gratuities for standard cabins are going from 1450 to 16

one really positive bit of news coming out of Norwegian is that on Norwegian Breakaway the starlink satellite internet services has been spotted
