Creator's Key Takeaways

I am really a person that thinks that every time there is a hiccup, people don't need to get on board credit for it because you know what? That's just part of life, right?

There should be substantial onboard um not only onboard credit but substantial future cruise credit coming if not 100%.

I'm never going to get today back. Even if they give me a lot of money in future cruise credit so that I can come again or to try to make things right, I'm never going to get today back.

We're never going to get today back and so do our best to enjoy where we are and um try to make the lemonade out of the lemons.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you're on a ship with problems, try to make the best of it and enjoy the experience.
Cruise lines should be incredibly responsive and go out of their way when things go wrong.

YouTube Video Description

Allison has a packed update today! First, she clears up yesterday’s Sapphire Princess update with an important correction for cruisers in Los Angeles—not Vancouver. Then she shares news of a major Carnival Corporation move: a new headquarters in Miami for Carnival, Princess, Holland America, Cunard, Seabourn, and AIDA—all under one roof by 2028. Finally, and most urgently, Allison dives into ongoing serious issues aboard the Grand Princess just days into its Ultimate Alaska cruise. Plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and sewage smells have caused major disruptions—and your feedback is needed. Let us know in the comments what you think about the Grand Princess situation and how you would handle it. Allison closes with a reminder: “I’m never going to get today back.” It’s a message for all of us—whether your cruise goes smoothly or not, we only get one shot at each day. Let’s do our best to find joy in the journey.
