Creator's Key Takeaways

Today we have a family out $10,000 on a Carnival cruise.

We have another cruise ship fire leaving the ship stranded in port for several days.

We have backlash for a passenger who was allowed to bring a pet on board the ship, claiming it was a service animal.

This is why it's so important to purchase travel insurance before your cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Purchase travel insurance before your cruise.
Check traffic and plan extra time to reach the port.
