Creator's Key Takeaways

We just finished the trip of a lifetime, but it could have been way different if I would have had my way.

Thank goodness I listened to Amanda. Thank goodness the way things play out worked for us.

Norwegian Cruise Line for the interim is backtracking this unpopular change and allowing cruise passengers to use their drink package.

It's a great plus. It's a great perk. You don't want to have to purchase another drink package when you've already purchased a drink package.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Listen to your spouse when choosing a cruise itinerary.
Check if your drink package works at the cruise line's private island before booking.
