Creator's Key Takeaways

Carnival, yeah, Carnival again just slid in another fee increase.

The service charge on all those extras is jumping from 18% to 20%.

It's that boiled frog principle, right? You throw a frog in a pot in warm water, it doesn't jump out because you ever so slowly start turning up the heat.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Watch for fine print changes in cruise line fees.
Calculate the cumulative impact of small percentage increases across your entire cruise.
