Creator's Key Takeaways

if you're just going to book your cruise yourself online it makes the most sense to go direct given that the prices are the same

you can pay thousands for a fancy balcony room or Suite in a prime location on the ship and lots of people do this they are great rooms without a doubt but they do have a hefty price tag as well

if you're a veteran Cruiser then you know to just ignore these sales if a cruise line needs to fill rooms it will adjust prices on a specific sailing not offer lower prices across the board

I've paid about $40 for a day pass that gives you access to the thermal loungers the steam rooms those fancy showers and a more considering that a massage can easily run $150 for an hour paying a third of that for all the time you want to relax that's an awesome deal

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book directly with the cruise line for the same prices as third-party sites
Use an old gift card or key card in the cabin's energy-saving holder to avoid being locked out
Ask about spa day passes for a cheaper alternative to massages
Consider sailing with a third or fourth passenger to save money on cabin costs
Board later on embarkation day to avoid crowds and get to your room faster
