Creator's Key Takeaways
One of the best aspects of cruising is that they are for the most part a very budget friendly vacation.
On my last Royal Caribbean cruise, we bid $140 to move from an ocean view cabin to a neighborhood balcony, which successfully saved us more than $400.
It's better to be prepared than to have to pay extra for medication or a product that you have stuffed in a cabinet back home.
Booking independently can be a great way to save money on excursions that cruise lines charge extra for, but you need to know and evaluate the risks before you make that decision.
