If you’re planning your first cruise, one of the biggest questions is what’s actually included in your cruise fare. In this video, I’m breaking down what is usually included in the cost of a cruise, what is not included, and the extra cruise costs first-time cruisers need to watch for before they book. Your cruise fare typically includes your cabin, a lot of your food, onboard entertainment, and access to many of the ship’s amenities. But things like gratuities, alcohol, Wi-Fi, specialty dining, shore excursions, and other add-ons may cost extra. This is a helpful breakdown for anyone trying to understand cruise pricing, cruise costs, and whether cruises are really all-inclusive. Need help booking your cruise?
