Creator's Key Takeaways
The cautionary tale here is that if you're going on a cruise, you either got to pay your bill or make some sort of arrangement to pay your bill or you could end up in the slammer.
You definitely want to see ice when you go to Greenland. But unfortunately, there is a different kind of ice that you do not want to deal with, and that's called sea ice.
Royal Caribbean has oversold a cruise and they're now trying to incentivize their passengers to not go on it.
