Creator's Key Takeaways

So Rome has a really rather limited metro system and it's because every time they dig to add more metro lines they always run in um to a lot of archaeological um facts artifacts and it ends up turning into an archaeological dig.

The bottom line is is we have to keep our eye out for it. If you did book and you know that that um cruise that you booked, the promo carries the better than best price guarantee, you can still go ahead and fill out that form and submit it to Princess for them to add the extra onboard credit for you.

I personally would rather have the money in my pocket because the money in my pocket I don't have to worry about spending on board and I just never have to pay it. It stays in my savings account.

So, let me know if you have been sailing on Holland America and noticed that change. Let me know what you think about it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Hold on to your belongings when riding the Rome metro due to pickpockets.
Consider buying a Rome Pass or other ticket options for better value if riding the metro frequently.
If you booked a Princess cruise with the better than best price guarantee, submit the form to get onboard credit if the price drops.

YouTube Video Description

Today we have several important updates that I want to make sure you know about. First, I share exciting travel news from Rome, where two long-awaited metro stations have finally opened—after more than 20 years of archaeological discovery. These new stations don’t just move people around the city; they actually let you see Roman history as you travel. I also share practical tips for riding the metro safely. Next, we head to Athens, where Greece has approved a major expansion and renovation of the National Archaeological Museum. If you love history, art, and culture, this is a museum that truly deserves a spot on your list. Then we talk about something very important for cruisers: Princess Cruises’ Better Than Best Price Guarantee. I explain how it worked, why it appears to have expired as of December 15, 2025, and what you should do if you booked a cruise that included it. We also talk honestly about onboard credit versus cash savings. Finally, we look at a trend many of you have been emailing me about—more slot machines appearing on cruise ships, including spaces that used to be lounges. I share what I’m hearing from Princess and Holland America sailings and ask what you’re seeing onboard. Lots to cover today, and I’d really love to hear your thoughts. God bless you, and thanks so much for being here with me. 💙⚓️ Our email address: letsgotraveltips@gmail.com 🛳️ Join us on our Upcoming Group Cruises: https://letsgotraveltips.com/upcoming-group-cruises/ 📟 Our Website: https://letsgotraveltips.com/ Thank you for watching Let's Go!
