Who knew a story about a cruise gone wrong would be such a tale of horror? Seems like cruise ship companies are essentially little fiefdoms where passengers can go overboard and it's no big deal. By @bridgetgillard

You know the brokers that barely do anything? that got into the field during the pandemic just to make some quick $$$? As @AdrianeQ reported, some are hoping new industry rules means the gold rush amateurs go away.
