Creator's Key Takeaways

a cruise is still a great way to stretch your vacation dollars especially because of all the included amenities that come with cruising

if you learn to pack all your Necessities into a carry-on and a backpack you can avoid the added charges for checked baggage

it's okay to try something on the main dining menu that you've never had before only to find out it's not something you light you can always send it back and get something else

the included food is in most cases very good with a large variety to choose from especially when it comes to the buffet

Creator's Tips & Advice

Drive to nearby ports instead of flying to save on airfare and hotel costs
Pack light with only carry-on luggage to avoid airline baggage fees
Book hotels outside the immediate cruise port area for cheaper rates
Bring your own drinks on board where allowed to avoid drink package costs
Stick to included dining options instead of paying for specialty restaurants
