Creator's Key Takeaways

Cruise prices have gone up. Compared to prepandemic sailings, many cruises are 15 to 35% more expensive, sometimes even higher for balconies and suites.

What used to be a $1,200 cruise can quietly turn into a $2,000 plus vacation.

When you compare a cruise to a land vacation, which includes a hotel, your flights, your meals, your drinks, and entertainment, cruising can still be cheaper, especially for families.

The key is know what you actually value and don't pay for stuff that you won't actually use.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Cruise in the off-peak season (e.g., September, early December, January).
Be flexible with the ship and itinerary.
Watch price drops after booking.
Use onboard credit promotions.
Skip drink packages if you don't drink much.
Avoid specialty dining if not interested.
