Creator's Key Takeaways

Many cruisers said they actually did kind of regret some of the things that they had purchased on a cruise.

Inch of gold at about $3 an inch on average is not real gold.

I had a future cruise deposit or a next cruise booked with Norwegian Cruise Line. You had four years to use it. And do you know what? I never did end up using it.

Many people shared how they actually got charged anywhere from $150 to over $1,500 for a seven night cruise simply because they didn't put their phone on airplane mode.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Compare prices for cruise purchases online before buying on board.
Consider day passes for thermal spa instead of full pass if itinerary is port-intensive.
Bring small bills and cash for excursions to avoid issues with lockers or change.
Track future cruise deposits and book within the window to avoid losing money.
Check cruise fares before final payment for potential price reductions.
Put your phone on airplane mode to avoid high data charges.
