Creator's Key Takeaways

I have been on about 30 cruises across many of the world's best cruise lines and I've done them all for free

I usually end up losing about $50 a day in the casino and I'm earning comps that are worth hundreds and hundreds per day

So, I've set myself a very ambitious goal of only spending about $100 a day all in

So overall, a really, really good successful sailing when it comes to finances

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Budget at least $150 per day for comped cruises to cover associated costs
βœ“Vet off-port parking facilities for safety and transportation options
βœ“Use casino loyalty discounts for Wi-Fi and drinks to save money
