Creator's Key Takeaways

When you give somebody something more, they rarely if ever remember that. But you take something away and they will never ever forget.

I would probably choose the Enchanted Princess just based on my own preferences, but I would go on the Sun Princess in a heartbeat.

Starting May 1st, so it's already in in effect. Uh the people that have a shop in Norway are going to be required to have the ability to accept cash.

Creator's Tips & Advice

When traveling in Norway, still get some Norwegian currency for small purchases.

YouTube Video Description

Today we’ve got a wide mix of cruise updates you’ll want to hear! Princess Cruises has announced a large group of cruise cancellations on the Enchanted Princess for summer and fall 2026—and Allison goes over all the impacted dates as well as what Princess is offering in return. We also revisit SodaGate, as guests still feel the sting of having to pay extra for canned soda with the Plus and Premier packages. Should Princess have simply raised the price instead? Allison shares her thoughts and wants to hear yours! Next, we check in on how Dine My Way is working (or not) in 2025—Allison shares her own frustrations as dining times and locations continue to shift before a big Alaska sailing. Finally, a follow-up on using cash in Europe: Norway has just passed a law requiring shops to accept cash starting May 1st, 2025—so we talk about why carrying a little local currency still makes sense while traveling. Let us know your experience in the comments—especially if you've been impacted by any of these changes!
