Carnival’s 10-Minute Drink Rule: Buzzkill or Better Safety?

In this episode

Carnival's stealthy 20% tip hike and its new 10-minute drink rule get the full crew treatment — spoiler: nobody's mad about the drink wait, and nobody fell off that barstool (it was defective). Plus Reddit saves a honeymoon, a missing passenger turns up safe, and Trevor eats crow over last week's man-overboard hoax.

Moments worth the wait

• Trevor's return — Back from COVID and quick to disavow his AI doppelgänger.

  “I have returned from the dead.”

• Adults-only, defended — On the Punchliner comedy-club debate, Jenn sticks a clean landing after Heald holds the 18+ line.

  “It's okay to have adult only spaces.”

• The stealth-hike gripe — The crew's ask for Carnival's quiet 18%→20% gratuity bump.

  “If you're gonna raise prices at least send out an email… have John announce it for crying out loud.”

• The title rule, shrugged off — The Lido regulars aren't sweating the new 10-minute drink wait.

  “If you're on the Lido it could take you that long just to get the second drink, so I don't think that's a problem.”

• The instant-classic barstool defense — Trevor sets the record straight, for the record.

  “I've never fallen off of a bar stool… let me just reiterate, it was a defective bar stool.”

• Reddit to the rescue — A cruise community rallies to save a stranger's honeymoon.

  “In a heartwarming turn a Royal Caribbean fan shared on Reddit how the cruise community saved his honeymoon.”

• Trevor eats crow — Last week's man-overboard story is revealed as a hoax, and Trevor owns it.

  “I'm sorry, I passed along wrong information, please forgive me.”
