8 Dumb Ways Cruise Passengers Waste Money/Time (Don't Do These)

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides advice on avoiding common mistakes that lead to wasted time or money during a cruise. Regarding accommodations, the creator suggests that ocean view cabins are often poor value compared to interior rooms or balconies, advising passengers to choose one of the two extremes instead. To save money on beverages, the creator recommends bringing your own wine or champagne rather than purchasing expensive glasses on board, though they note you should bring a corkscrew. For logistics, the creator advises against rushing to disembark the ship immediately upon docking or arriving too early for boarding, as both actions often result in long lines. When it comes to connectivity, the creator suggests that paying for the slower internet packages is a waste because the speed is often insufficient. The video also warns against buying essential toiletries on the ship due to high prices and cautions travelers to read the fine print on drink packages to ensure they actually break even. Finally, the creator recommends avoiding guest services during peak times by using the phone from a cabin or waiting for quieter periods.
