STEP Program link: https://mytravel.state.gov/s/step Hi there, this is Allison with Let’s Go! Travel Tips. Today’s update includes three important things—one very exciting, one major cruise industry shift, and one very important tip for your safety when traveling internationally. 👶 First off, we’re thrilled to announce the arrival of a new grandbaby—a beautiful little boy! Mom and baby are doing great, and we’re feeling very grateful. 🛳 Next, Carnival Cruise Line just announced major changes to their loyalty program, now renamed Carnival Rewards, beginning June 1, 2026. Loyalty status will no longer be earned only by cruises taken, but by how much money you spend—both onboard and with their upcoming Barclays credit card. This mirrors Delta’s shift to a spend-based rewards model. And yes, this may influence other cruise lines. Let’s talk about what that means for you. 🌍 And finally—the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) by the U.S. State Department is something every U.S. citizen traveling abroad should know about. It’s free to sign up and helps keep you informed of emergencies, health alerts, or evacuation notices. Gordon will link the signup info in the pinned comment.
