Creator's Key Takeaways

I found ways of paying less than most people on every one of the 12 upcoming trips that I've got booked

I got a great fair but also the launch deal included the have it all add-on covering drinks Wi-Fi gratuities and some Excursion and speciality dining credits

I saved a fortune because the second person had 75% of the fair we saved almost $6,000 Β£5,000 versus if we booked without waiting for that promotion

I negotiated and locked in group fairs just as that cruise was launched to get those launch prices

But despite that, I have found ways of paying less than most people on every one of the 12 upcoming trips I've got booked. I'm going to show you how I, and other smart cruisers, cruise for less than others in this time of rising fares.
