Creator's Key Takeaways

nothing's really free when we come back from the intro we're going to break it down and show you what a free Cruise really cost

I get a free interior room excludes his taxes uh Port expenses and deposit uh and I get $200 in funplay credit

you're probably really still going to spend that $759 easily on that Free Cruise

they're still great deals um but they they're still going to cost you money no matter what

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Budget about $1,000 per cruise for additional expenses
✓Use onboard credit before it expires (use or lose it)
✓Consider driving to the port to save on parking and gas

Free cruises are not really free. They are great deals compared to having to pay full price. After purchasing excursions, internet, drinks ect, it all starts adding up. Join my Facebook group page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/60280...
