Creator's Key Takeaways

we never did these 10 EUR shuttle returns from the port it's probably cost effective there's one or two of you but actually you really don't need to here the buses are dirt cheap and they go from right outside the port

we had to ask how to get past the queue 440 for a family of 4 is EXT so we're going to get the number three bus

we didn't actually pay for any sun beds at this particular Beach Club cuz there weren't any sun beds to be had they were all reserved but we did manage to get a little scrap of sand and the beaches in mior are beautiful

my new criteria for a cruise ship or a cruise line is do we have to pay for shuttles into town and I just found out that virgin voyages you do not at least here in IA so

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use local buses instead of cruise shuttles to save money

Are you ready to save money on your next cruise? If you HATE to waste money on your cruise (particularly on cruise ship shuttles into port that you PAY EXTRA MONEY for), then watch this video to save your wallet! We're onboard Anthem of the Seas, and docking in the Spanish island ports of Mallorca and Ibiza we refused to waste good money on RCCL's shuttles... and we still had a BLAST! Because we mention them in the video, here are a few more videos of us saving money in port by not taking excursions and doing things like the ex-crew we are: Vigo, Spain: https://youtu.be/a1aY29qjxt0 Lisbon: https://youtu.be/06Bj3YM4ayA See you next time! - Beth and Tony @TravellingWithTeens #cruisetips #cruiseship #royalcaribbean 00:00 Palma de Mallorca (Spain) 05:26 All board (sail away) 09:43 Ibiza (Spain) 17:02 All aboard (sail away)
