Creator's Key Takeaways
Most cruise ships will have a premium ice cream shop on board where you can purchase gourmet flavors or sundaes, usually at a lower cost than what you could find at a similar place on land.
The duty-free shop on the last day of your cruise will often have big discounts on select items, sometimes buy 1 get one free deals that you can't find anywhere else.
Most cruise lines have them, and if you don't have the drink package, this is the way to have a few drinks and save a little money.
Many cruise ships offer premium meat selections in the main dining room that you pay an upcharge for. These are usually the same cuts of meat you could get in one of the specialty high-end restaurants, but you're paying a fraction of the price for it in the main dining room.
