Creator's Key Takeaways

cruising can get expensive but it doesn't have to break the bank

I actually just looked at Royal Caribbean's policy and they are completely fine with up to 48 hours before the cruise you canceling and rebooking the same Excursion if it comes out at a lower price

we actually had this it happen we saw this on our Norwegian Joy cruise that Jake bought the internet package before he got on board and then I bought the internet package I think on day three and I think I only paid $15 for day three four and five when you paid I almost $100 for the whole thing

we actually were able to get an upcoming cruise that we're going on in the fall down to less than 50% of the total cost is probably going to be less than $100 per person per day by the time we're actually done

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book excursions early through the app and check for better prices
Consider buying internet packages later in the cruise for prorated rates
Use travel agents or Chase travel portal for potential onboard credits
Use travel credit cards to rack up points for travel discounts
Do the math on drink packages and specialty dining to see if they're worth it
Plan for gratuities in your cruise budget
