Creator's Key Takeaways

I prepay my gratuities the minute I book my cruise I book it into my fair right away and the reason I do that is if you've been following me for any length of time you know gratuities go up over time

I almost ended up buying a $1,700 bottle of wine and I'm really glad I didn't

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book spa treatments, specialty dining, and shore excursions ahead of time to save money
Check for discounts on the first day of the cruise for drink packages and specialty dining
Bring your own snacks and drinks to avoid high onboard prices
Prepay gratuities at booking to lock in the current rate
Avoid double tipping by checking if gratuities are already included on your bill
Set parental controls to prevent kids from incurring arcade or pay-per-view charges
