Creator's Key Takeaways

I love Carnival, but these brawls are almost always on Carnival cruise ships. That's just how it is.

I do think Carnival's too lax about these things, and that's why these things keep happening on their ships.

I think $500 is not a deterrent. I think they need to significantly up that fine, put it in the contract of carriage, make it $10,000.

We expect to be safe on a cruise ship. And to have a pane of glass, this massive sheer glass completely just collapse and shatter down on people for no apparent known reason is pretty freaking scary.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Travel insurance isn't just a good idea, it should be non-negotiable.
Consider an annual insurance plan if you travel more than once a year.
