Creator's Key Takeaways

booking the absolute cheapest cruise without considering what's included is actually a recipe for spending way more money

Missing your final payment deadline doesn't mean you get a late fee. It means your entire cruise gets cancelled and you lose your deposit

when you book through a travel agent instead of directly with a cruise line, you can often get additional onboard credit that is not available anywhere else

cruise prices fluctuate constantly. And if the price drops after you book, but before the final payment date, you can repric it usually to a lower price

Creator's Tips & Advice

Set multiple reminders for final payment due date to avoid cancellation
Book through a travel agent to get additional onboard credit
Reprice your cruise before the final payment date if prices drop
Wait a few days to shop onboard as items often go on sale
Cash out casino winnings at least a couple of days before disembarkation
