Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm just recently back from a cruise on a Norwegian Cruise Line and it really struck me there was a whole bunch of things that the fare didn't include

you can pretty much eat 24 hours a day on a Norwegian Cruise Line ship because you have the main dining rooms which are normally the Manhattan taste and savor

the first thing that's not included in your fare is service charges or gratuities so if you're cruising in something up to a mini suite sort of level you're going to be paying $15 per person per day

Norwegian Cruise Lines is renowned for its freestyle approach to cruising lots of choice of things to do many of those come with a price tag

Creator's Tips & Advice

Prepay gratuities or budget for auto-charged service fees
Consider beverage packages to manage alcohol and premium drink costs
Budget for shore excursions, internet access, and babysitting services
