Creator's Key Takeaways

I actually did a survey on facebook of over 200 cruises and asked them how much cash they would bring on a 7-night cruise

most purchases that you make on a cruise will be done on your cruise card which will be linked to a credit or debit card you don't really need to use cash when you are on a cruise ship

I always start by thinking about taxis and public transportation I normally budget around fifteen pounds or twenty dollars for a taxi

if you are cruising to Marseille on a Mediterranean cruise the cruise line will tell you you're really far from town and that you have to get a shuttle bus that cost 30 euros that is a lie

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Research your cruise ports before you go to find free transportation options
βœ“Bring small coins for public toilets in Europe
βœ“Avoid using onboard cash machines due to high fees
βœ“Budget for gratuities at around 10 pounds per person per night
βœ“Book spa treatments or specialty dining in advance to plan costs
