Creator's Key Takeaways
Two cruise ship passengers fell while hiking on the Mount Roberts Trail in Juno, Alaska.
Royal Caribbean is they're doing it again. So what we've seen over the last few ship launches from Royal Caribbean is this scenario where they get the cruise ship done early.
Carnival, of course, they've got their new rewards program. big announcement from them this week that if you can make diamond by June the 1st next year, the very last day of May 31st, 2026, if you are diamond on that date, you will be diamond for life, diamond forever.
I don't think any of these loyalty programs are worth it. I mean, I think a lot of it's psychological.
