What's Included In My Cruise

Description from YouTube

Hey cruisers, I’m Sheri with cruise tips tv. Cruising can be a great value, but what exactly DO you get for your vacation dollar onboard? We’re here to give you the low down. Your cruise of course includes your accommodations, which are called staterooms or cabins onboard. You can choose rooms that vary from reasonably priced small inside cabins with no windows or views, to suites that include their own butler service and everything in between. Most meals in the ships dining room and buffet restaurants are also included. There are often upcharge options too, but on most ships, you could avoid spending extra money on food, easily. Simple beverages like water, iced tea, hot tea, hot cocoa, lemonade, some juice, and coffee are also included. You’ll pay for sodas, alcohol and fancy drinks. Next, there are hundreds of activities that are included at no charge on a cruise. Depending on your cruise line’s personality, you’ll find everything from movie theatres to educational seminars, church services, and even hairy chest contests. There is SO much entertainment on cruise ships that you could never experience it all. From stage shows to piano bars to comedy clubs, there’s something for everyone. Usually, youth programs are also free of charge. While babysitting may cost you extra, ships usually offer complimentary programs AND designated fun areas for kids of all ages. Your kids will likely make new friends, and if they’re teenagers, you may not see much of them on your cruise vacation. Did we miss anything that was include on YOUR cruise?
