Creator's Key Takeaways

It appears that an extremely expensive meal was ordered almost $100,000 for a dinner for two on the water.

First of all, it's important to check your charges at the end of V day so you won't have any unexpected surprises at the end of the cruise or even after you've already disembarked.

I personally always prefer to pay on the ship with a cash account rather than by credit card.

Therefore, if possible, always come with a backup payment method.
