Creator's Key Takeaways
it is better to go on a cruise and spend a little bit less than not go on a cruise at all
interior cabins are going to be the least expensive usually on a cruise so that's where you want to start
travel agents most of the time don't charge for their services and at the same time they can't actually charge more than the cruise line
calculate for you but in many cases if you bring a couple of bottles of wine and maybe you drink a couple of drinks a day you are better off not buying the beverage package
