Creator's Key Takeaways
Princess Cruises killed their best price guarantee. As of December 15th, 2025, it's gone.
Royal Caribbean requires everyone in the cabin to buy the drink package.
Flexibility is the new best price guarantee, and right now, it's probably worth paying for.
Book your own flight independently, you get more control, more flexibility, and almost always better pricing.
