Creator's Key Takeaways

Someone in that we're sailing with got a glass of ice the other day and that was 16 cents.

You can go ask a crew member for a glass of ice and cause them the work to go get it and it's free.

But if you go up to this machine and do it, you're going to be paying for your ice.

It just shows up on your stateateroom bill. We've asked ours to be removed.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Ask a crew member for ice instead of using the machine to avoid paying.
If you have a soda package, request free soda from a crew member to avoid charges.

YouTube Video Description

Beware the hidden cruise line fee: ice! Getting ice from a machine costs money based on how much soda you get. Ask a crew member—it's free and saves you money. #CruiseTips #TravelHacks #CruiseLife #HiddenFees
