Creator's Key Takeaways

I booked a lastminute casino offer just 4 days before departure.

The offer was for an interior cabin, a six night, 7-day cruise for Australian, $531 for two.

Even if you go in with discipline, most people end up dropping anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand back into the casino.

So, my total spend for six nights was $1,022.30, which works out to about $170 per night.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use onboard credit strategically, such as at the casino.
βœ“Tip extra to room stewards if you have a good experience.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Hidden fees and taxes on 'free' cruises β€” Understand that taxes, port fees, and gratuities are often included in the base fare, making the cruise not truly free.
Casino spending temptation β€” Go in with discipline, but be aware that most people end up spending money at the tables and slots.
