Creator's Key Takeaways

I've just booked another cruise. And this is you booking cruises and then you tell me your deal.

If you don't believe in using the casino, and if that's not in your wheelhouse, then I completely understand that. I'm not suggesting you do it.

I will not pay more than $130 a day per person per cruise. I just I just can't afford it.

If you've booked an inside cabin, refer to it as the bedroom. Let's go back to the bedroom because that's what it is.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check deck plans on cruise line official sites to see cabin availability and load.
Use casino loyalty programs for potential discounted or free cruises (US customers).
Call cruise lines to price match if fares drop after booking.
Book direct with cruise lines for better customer service and upgrade chances.
Refer to inside cabins as 'bedrooms' to manage expectations and enjoy the cruise.
Book flights through cruise lines for protection against delays, but monitor prices.

Spending too much on a cruise cabinIf you can only afford an inside cabin, you'll have just as much fun; refer to it as a bedroom.
