Cruises are more popular than ever, but they're also more controversial than ever, with destinations around the globe limiting or outright banning them from ports in an effort to combat over-tourism.

It's a great time for Wyndham loyalists or those looking to try the brand and its loyalty program for the first time.
Wyndham Rewards Member Month starts today, and for the next five weeks, those taking part can get some major discounts, deals and bonus points for stays across all Wyndham brands. For every two nights of a qualified stay at a participating hotel, Wyndham Rewards members can earn 7,500 bonus points (up to 15,000 points total), which is enough for two free nights at a Wyndham-affiliated hotel.
Wyndham Rewards Earner Visa cardmembers who register for the promotion and have a qualified stay of at least two nights can earn 5,000 bonus points.
"Wyndham Rewards is the most generous rewards program in the industry, giving members more for their money all year-round," said Charmaine Taylor, Wyndham's senior vice president of loyalty and strategic partnerships, in a prepared statement. "That's something to celebrate, and Member Month is our chance to go above and beyond by giving our 106+ million enrolled members unforgettable deals and experiences, allowing them to explore the world however they choose."
But there's more than just bonus points to be had from Member Month. At midnight EST each Wednesday during the promotion, Wyndham will announce a new surprise offer. In the past, this has included 40% off points purchases and 15,000 bonus points for future stays. Check out the Member Month landing page each Wednesday over the next five weeks for the latest offer.
If you haven't stayed at a Wyndham in recent years, this is a great opportunity to quickly earn points and try out some of the brand's new offerings. TPG had a great time recently at the Wyndham Alltra Cancun in Mexico. You can also deploy those bonus points at the Wyndham Alltra Vallarta, an all-inclusive resort just outside Puerto Vallarta in Mexico, or Ajul Luxury Hotel & Spa Resort, a Greek hotel that is part of Wyndham's high-end Registry Collection.
Consider it the Wyndham Rewards equivalent of March Madness.
