Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm just recently back from a cruise on a Norwegian Cruise Line and it really struck me there was a whole bunch of things that the fare didn't include

you can pretty much eat 24 hours a day on a Norwegian Cruise Line ship because you have the main dining rooms

the first thing that's not included in your fare is service charges or gratuities

room service is not free you do have a charge if you order room service

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Prepay service charges or gratuities to avoid auto-charge on board
โœ“Consider buying specialty dining packages if you plan to eat at multiple specialty restaurants
โœ“Budget for internet access if you need streaming or reliable connectivity
โœ“Plan for shore excursions as they can be a significant additional cost
