Creator's Key Takeaways

I can't tell you how many times we and some people that we talked with tried to order a specific wine and they said oh we don't have that one right now

we brought some bottles of our own wine on board the ship on Royal Caribbean each passenger is allowed to bring one bottle of wine

the daily gratuities on this Cruise were 16 per person per day and that adds up to about 192 dollars

the casino on the symphony was not very generous to us we've had way more fun on casinos on other ships that's for sure

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Bring your own wine to save money on drinks
βœ“Consider if the drink package is worth it based on your consumption
βœ“Plan for daily gratuities as an additional cost
βœ“Enjoy included activities on Oasis class ships to avoid extra expenses

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description↓

Cruising costs money, and not just what you have to pay before you board the ship. On our recent cruise on the Royal Caribbean Symphony of the Seas from Miami to Barcelona, we had more than a week of sea days, went on no excursions, and brought several bottles of wine with us. How much did we end up spending anyways? #royalcaribbean #symphonyoftheseas #cruise Get my NEW BOOK!
