Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm a budget traveler and when you travel on a budget on cruise ships you always look for the inside cabins those are generally the cheapest cabins
the total cost was $1,181 for all the fixed costs so that's $74 a day for this 16-day Panama Canal cruise on Ruby Princess
I found a great deal we'll talk about that a little bit later in the video but it was only $499
I've booked nine cruises maybe even 10 now for around $100 a day some under 100 some maybe $15 a day $16 a day
