We cover the ships that have no self-service laundry and ban irons outright, the four-times difference in ship-to-shore phone rates between Carnival and Royal Caribbean, the 90-day claim clock on anything you leave behind, price-drop refunds before final payment, cross-brand loyalty status matching, refundable versus non-refundable future cruise deposits, the 90-day deadline for medical diets, and the accessibility notice windows that differ by weeks between lines. Practical cruise tips and cruise secrets for senior cruisers, with the exact words to use at each desk. ───────── CHAPTERS ───────── 0:00 Why nobody ever hands you the number 0:35 1.
