It cost $1 million dollars a day to operate this cruise ship. I bet you would never have guessed it.

Creator's Key Takeaways
Try $1 million per day. That covers everything. Fuel, food, electricity, maintenance, the crew salaries, entertainment, you name it.
Even though it costs Royal Caribbean a million bucks a day to operate, many guests pay as little as $100 per person per night for a cruise on the Symphony of the Seas.
So passengers might score a cheap cabin, but once on board, they're spending money on drink packages, specialty dining, shore excursions, spa treatments, Wi-Fi, souvenirs, and so much more.
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Be aware that onboard spending can significantly increase the total cost of a cruise.
✓Consider the value of drink packages and specialty dining when budgeting for a cruise.
