Creator's Key Takeaways

cruising is one of the most easy and carefree ways to travel but there are so many ways to stretch your budget

I have never booked a cruise line based Excursion and I've been sailing since 1997

for $100 we enjoyed a longer day at the beach and did not have to rush back to the ship in a group but left when we wanted all while saving $300 on our Excursion that day

don't forget to take the trip it's just what the doctor ordered

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book 18 to 24 months in advance for lowest prices
โœ“Sail in shoulder season to avoid peak travel costs
โœ“Monitor cruise prices after booking for potential adjustments
โœ“Work with a travel agent for price monitoring and deals
โœ“Book an inside cabin to save hundreds or thousands
โœ“Book a guarantee cabin for the most affordable option
