Creator's Key Takeaways

I think almost everybody gets specialty dining, you know, at least once in a while when they go on a cruise.

The Wi-Fi package is super expensive. We actually have a video that we kind of go through all the different ways you can try to avoid buying a Wi-Fi package.

All photographers are not created equal apparently.

You just have to go up and ask one of those ladies for a deal and they will give you they'll tell you some sort of deal that they'll give you.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pre-purchase specialty dining deals when cruise lines have sales.
For a 7-day cruise, consider one specialty dining night as a splurge.
Get in a group for port transportation to get the group rate.
Ask for a deal on spa services instead of paying the advertised price.
