Editorial Summary

The creator explains the logistical challenges and financial burdens that led to her canceling a planned cruise on the Carnival Mardi Gras twice. She details a complex plan involving staying at a hotel near Universal Studios and traveling to Fort Lauderdale to catch a Celebrity Edge cruise, but she expresses concern over the tight windows for COVID-19 testing and flight connections. The creator notes that the potential for travel delays and the high cost of new flights made the trip too stressful. She also mentions that her friends, who were part of her travel plans, decided not to go as well. Ultimately, she concludes that the additional expenses for hotels and flights would have cost triple the price of the cruise itself. Rather than attempting to force the trip to work, she decides to focus on her upcoming Alaska cruise and wait for more stability regarding travel regulations and flight predictability.
