Creator's Key Takeaways

I always look for the lowest priced first and start from there.

What I do budget is my daily spending.

We budget our daily spending per port and then we budget the spending shots that we go in on the ship.

We use straight cash.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book your cruise one and a half to two years in advance to keep monthly payments small.
โœ“Budget for daily spending per port and onboard spending.
โœ“Use straight cash at ports to avoid credit card fraud.
โœ“Budget for soda if you don't get a drink package.
โœ“Consider specialty dining packages to save money.
