Creator's Key Takeaways

the internet packages on cruise ships are sometimes ridiculously expensive and the internet is usually ranging from not very good to horrible

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Turn your internet off and just enjoy the ship, or wait until you get to a port to use free internet.
✓Don't spend extra money on special cupcakes, ice cream, or coffee; get similar items for free at the buffet.
✓If you need to see a doctor on a cruise and it's not an emergency, wait until you get home or go to a doctor on land.
✓Don't go to the spa on board for massages; get them at home for much less money.
