Creator's Key Takeaways

internet onboard cruise ships is very costly because it's costly for the cruise lines to be able to offer internet access on board

the coffee that is an offer in the mess is absolute dog but the coffee on here that is offered in the mess is exactly the same as you can buy in grounds Club

you will have to buy water because you can't drink from the Taps you're not allowed to drink from the well

you don't have to pay a gym membership um there's no fee to use the gym

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Buy internet packages carefully to avoid wasting money on unused minutes

✓Be mindful of crew bar spending as it can add up quickly

✓Use free coffee in the mess instead of buying expensive coffee

✓Get a reusable water bottle to avoid buying plastic bottles

✓Try using passenger gym and classes at quiet times to avoid fees
