Cruise lines get accused of “nickel and diming” passengers all the time. You pay for your cruise, then get onboard and suddenly there are extra charges for drinks, Wi-Fi, specialty dining, bottled water, desserts, photos, and more. But what if that pricing model is actually better for most cruisers? In this video, I break down why cruise ship “nickel and diming” is really just an a la carte system that keeps cruise fares lower, makes cruising more accessible, and gives you more control over what you actually spend money on. Instead of forcing everyone to pay higher upfront prices, cruise lines let you customize your vacation based on what matters to you. I know this opinion might ruffle some feathers, but I think there’s a strong case for why this model works better for the average cruiser. Let me know in the comments: Do you prefer lower cruise fares with optional extras, or would you rather pay one higher price for everything included?
