I’ve never cruised when it’s been threatened by inclement weather before and I’m supposed to leave Thursday on the Carnival Ecstasy out of Charleston, SC. So far Carnival has been kinda cagey about details regarding the sailing… anyone with any prior experience with this or any guesses based on the weather? submitted by /u/Jacked1703 [link] […]

We always do the prepaid gratuities and we plan on doing it going forward but I’ve never really looked in to not prepaying them.

I need some input to help make a decision. My wife has access to a free cruise as a perk for being a travel consultant. One of the options is a 28 cruise thru europe to asia. Its an incredible dream cruise for her and a once in a lifetime opportunity. However, I’m hesitating because […]
