Editorial Summary

The creator discusses how his cruising habits on Royal Caribbean have evolved since he began sailing in 2006. He identifies several specific practices he has abandoned to save money, improve health, or increase convenience. First, he has stopped purchasing drink packages, opting instead to utilize complimentary drinks earned through casino loyalty and Crown and Anchor Society status. He also notes that he no longer participates in professional onboard photo opportunities, despite receiving free photos through his loyalty tier. Regarding photography equipment, he has replaced his heavy DSLR camera with an iPhone due to improved mobile camera quality and ease of use. For health reasons, he has reduced his consumption of sugary alcoholic beverages. His approach to attire has also become more casual, leading him to pack fewer suits and formal clothes. Finally, he has stopped attending the spa raffles held on embarkation days because the timing conflicts with sail away and the odds of winning are low. He concludes by inviting viewers to share their own changes in cruising preferences.
