Creator's Key Takeaways
Shore excursions are one of the biggest places cruisers overspend, and it's not hard to see why.
Drink packages. Sometimes they're worth it, but sometimes not really.
Specialty dining is nice and expensive. Your cruise fair already includes a lot of good food in the main dining room and buffet.
Cruise ships operate on a cashless system. They charge everything to your onboard account using your CPass card, so it's easy to not keep track of your spending.
