Creator's Key Takeaways
We only paid $248 for two people. We used a casino offer for Royal Caribbean, and this got us our cabin, standard dining, and basic onboard perks.
One tip, tracking your onboard spending daily helps you stay under budget.
We spent $273 total on the two port days. Check out our two videos I already posted. We had so much fun in Costa Maya.
But by using credit card benefits, we did save three hotel nights, breakfast on one day, lunch on another day, Uber to the port, as compared to paying for everything with cash.
