so you saved your money and you're so excited about going on your cruise only to find out that there are all these additional fees that are blowing your budget

I cruised probably for I don't know 20 years before I ever paid for dining I just always went to the main dining room I loved it

the uncorking fee so a lot of cruise lines will let you bring a bottle of wine per person check into your cruise line and make sure you know what their strict guidelines are

to me cruising is still a great bang for your buck I mean you get your room Transportation food and drinks entertainment it's all included

YouTube Video Description

Don’t Blow your Cruise Budget! I will talk about the many Hidden Costs & Unexpected EXTRA Charges of Cruising. I will review what is included in your base cruise fare and what you MUST pay for that was unexpected, plus other costs you could incur. I understand that you saved your money and you're excited to go on your cruise. I don't want you to find out there are all of these additional fees that will blow your budget. Let me review what you get for that advertised price and how much extra you can expect to pay before you share the exciting news with your family that you're going on a cruise. You want to make sure that those extra charges that are going to creep in are factored into your cruise budget vs breaking your budget. In general, most of what I will discuss is true across the board for all of the major cruise lines. There are always exceptions, so check with your travel agent or the cruise line you're interested in to confirm all pricing. Join the Cruise Savvy Family!
