Creator's Key Takeaways

Cruises are a really good value and sometimes because of that we tend to think that they're all-inclusive but of course they're not all-inclusive

Flights are not included when you see the cost of a cruise

Soft drinks are not included in the cost of the cruise now I know a lot of people are really surprised about that

Alcoholic beverages are not included in the cost of the cruise now I think a lot of people do know this but that really is so different from an all-inclusive vacation

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Prepay gratuities before your cruise if you prefer
✓Bring a refillable water bottle to refill at buffet water machines
✓Consider beverage packages if you drink five to six alcoholic drinks per day
✓Book spa treatments on port days or the first day for potential discounts
✓Check cruise line websites for adult-only area passes and book early

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Gratuities or service charges are automatically added — You can prepay before the cruise or ask guest services to remove them, but it's a personal decision
Soft drinks and water bottles are not included — Consider a soda package or bring a refillable water bottle
Room service may have a fee on some cruise lines — Be aware of potential charges and check if it's included until a certain time
