Creator's Key Takeaways

Carnival changed their loyalty program. It sucks.

We canceled a cruise that was set to go out, I believe, on the 13th of January on the Carnival Glory out of Port Canaveral.

The reason we did that is because another cruise line called with a better offer.

I'm chasing Diamond anyways just because I'm a completist.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Don't cruise for loyalty; the juice ain't worth the squeeze.
βœ“If you have good mobility and can walk two miles, you can make it to the castle in Puerto Rico.
βœ“Be cautious when buying watches on cruises; prices may be inflated even with discounts.
