Creator's Key Takeaways

For $60 for the entire week of the cruise, $60 to have a balcony and have the fresh air, etc.

If you need the Wi-Fi, that's that's a good moneysaver right there and a timesaver.

Drink packages is probably one of the most expensive things you could add to any cruise anywhere.

I saved $1,000 for doing that just just by switching my time in flight.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check actual cabin prices before assuming balcony is too expensive.
Buy premium Wi-Fi if basic is insufficient.
Only get a drink package if you will drink enough to break even.
Buy everyday items at home or in port, not on the ship.
Check flight prices at different times of day to save money.
Pre-book specialty dining, shore excursions, and spa services to save 20-30%.
