About this episode

The episode discusses the accuracy of crew salaries, new economy seats by United, Royal Caribbean's service changes, and the treatment of pets in luxury hotels.

United will be adding new economy seats to make passengers feel more human. Royal Caribbean will be dropping calls in Haiti until the summer of 2027! Some luxury hotels are now treating pets better than the guests! Did you know that, on average, most cruise ship workers work more than twice as much per month as US workers on land?
