Creator's Key Takeaways

never ever buy the very first thing you see in the cruise wait to see if it goes on sale

if you win avoid the casino the rest of the time because they'll just take your money back almost guaranteed

beaches are often very easy to get to without having to book an actual excursion

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Wait to buy souvenirs until they go on sale later in the cruise
βœ“Order water cases ahead of time for better savings
βœ“Book private beach excursions locally instead of through the cruise line
βœ“Play bingo only for fun and wait until the final night for the jackpot
