Creator's Key Takeaways

I just found a last minute deal and I booked just 5 days before the sailing, a cruise.

We got cabins. We are going to share cabins. It's four of us, four Gen X.

We loaded with 1,000 for each cabin. So, that's 1,250 plus the 150 that we've got on the bar tab for the referral link.

I strongly recommend use the VPNs, check the prices in the different countries.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use referral links to get bar credit.
βœ“Use VPNs to check prices in different countries.
βœ“Don't bid for Rockstar upgrades if traveling as friends wanting separate beds.
