About this episode

The episode discusses recent news in the cruise and travel industry, including gratuity increases, a lawsuit against Carnival, and FAA regulations on air travel.

MSC is raising gratuities for all guests who already get their own coffee! A federal jury awards $300,000 to a nurse who got drunk and fell down the stairs, but lived to sue Carnival. The FAA has stepped in and reduced the number of takeoffs and arrivals at a Chicago airport because the airlines are too greedy to do it themselves. There is more Norovirus on land in the US than you will ever see on a cruise ship!
