Creator's Key Takeaways

I have seen every trick in the book I've seen how they get you to spend money when you were on board how they get you to book excursions

the less money we spend per Cruise the more cruises we can afford to go on right so we want to have our wits about us

I have never ever ever been on a cruise ship where I can hands down say this wi-fi was great and it was worth the money

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Avoid purchasing Wi-Fi packages as they are rarely worth the cost; embrace being phone-free.

✓Research the actual cost of cabin upgrades before bidding to ensure you don't overpay.

✓Do your own research on ports to determine if excursions are truly necessary for safety or just a way to spend more.

✓Check with the loyalty manager on board to find out exactly what perks you are entitled to.

✓Read the small print in cruise contracts regarding itinerary changes.
