Creator's Key Takeaways
So, you've paid off your cruise fair. You can put your wallet away now, right? Eh, probably not.
There are lots of extra costs, fees, and upcharges on a cruise ship that you may not know about.
Most lines only provide tap water, some juices, drip coffee, and tea for free.
You will have to decide if buying a drink package or paying out of pocket is the best value for you.
