Creator's Key Takeaways

I got a $300 onboard credit I got the Royal Caribbean Bank of America credit card if you spend a certain amount within the first 3 months you get a $300 onboard credit

I'm a little bit embarrassed about uh my gambling was $800 way more than I generally spend

even though the fair is comped that doesn't mean all of the other stuff can pile up

I had a really great time no regrets

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't remove prepaid gratuities even if you tip cash to frontline staff
Be disciplined with onboard spending to avoid costs piling up
Use $2 bills for cash tips as crew appreciate them

YouTube Video Description

My channel is all about my experiences using casino comps from the worlds biggest cruise lines to sail super cheap, but this time, Club Royale got me! Instead of me helping you with tips on what to do to get these great comps, this will show you how easy it is to spend wayyy too much on a cruise even if you don't pay a penny for cruise fare! I break down how much I spent, what I spent it on, and what you can do to avoid falling into the same trap :)
