Creator's Key Takeaways

This is not our first cruise. This is not our first rodeo. Not the first time we've gone on a carnival.

The entire goal is to walk away with a zero charge to the card at the end of the week.

A cruise day is better than a work day any day and there's no damper to that more so than the budget for us.

We're five weeks out from the cruise, but we have everything paid for.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Sit down and plan out a budget well in advance for your cruise.
Use the envelope method to set aside cash for each day of the cruise.
Overbudget each day to have extra wiggle room for unexpected expenses.

YouTube Video Description

Good Morning Jolly Cruise Family, Today we discuss our upcoming cruise on the Carnival Celebration and how we have budgeted and saved for it. We developed our budget from knowledge gained from previous cruises, so we are pretty sure on what we will spend. We then filled envelopes for each day with cash to cover the budgeted items. The final goal is to leave the cruise with a $0.00 balance charged to our Sail and Sign Card. This vlog is Part 1, part 2 will come out after the cruise and we do a comparison of Budgeted vs Actual expenses with receipts. Subscribe to the channel and watch the daily vlogs from the cruise as well as see how well we budgeted.
