Creator's Key Takeaways

you put the youngins on your sailing sign account you send them off to the arcade and they just start swiping they just start swiping and swiping and all of a sudden you've got a $300 $400 arcade bill

most everything on the cruise ship already has a gratuity baked into it and so look at your receipt and most the time when you're filling out that additional tip it's tip on top of a tip

the whole goal there for the cruise is to have you buy those pictures and guess what they are not cheap and so it is really hard to say no when you and your family have taken some really great pictures

you can pre-order water for your room you can pre-order snacks for your room you can pre-order your excursions most of time you can pre-order your Wi-Fi and they give you a despot treatments you can pre-order that and most of the cruise lines will give you a discount if you do that prior to cruise

Creator's Tips & Advice

Set spending limits on your ship account for kids to avoid large arcade bills
Check receipts to avoid double tipping since gratuity is often already included
Put your phone in airplane mode to avoid roaming charges
Be cautious with buying photos as they can add up quickly
Pre-book excursions, water, snacks, and Wi-Fi for discounts
