Knowing these secrets will help you save money on your next cruise and have a better cruise experience! 1. Check your price! Sales can be run and prices may go down. This goes for the cruise and additional purchases. 2. Not all cruise ships are the same! Choose your ship based on what you want. New ships offer more amenities and older ships may be very basic. 3. The drink package may cost more than paying out of pocket 4. You can order more in the dining room, the portions are small. 5. You may not need a balcony cabin. These cost more and is the most common cabin available. You can save money booking an interior. 6. Boarding times may not be checked 7. Use private islands as FREE days. Don’t spend extra money here. 8. Cruise lines want you to spend money onboard! They break even on the cruise fare. They make money on drinks, in the casino and the shops. 9. Loyalty programs are overrated! 10. If you cancel, the cruise line will keep your money… buy insurance! You will get back port fees, gratuity and and extras you purchased but they will keep the cruise fare. #cruisetips #cruisesecrets #cruisehacks Please SUBSCRIBE, Comment, Like, Share & Follow! *Download our 101 Cruise Tips* http://bit.ly/3JfY0Rd *Check out our travel & camera gear on Amazon* https://www.amazon.com/shop/eecctravels This link has all of the camera gear we use to create our videos!!
