overspending on BOARD ON your cruise 

Picture
OVERSPENDING ON BOARD ON YOUR CRUISE 
Cruising is still one of the best values available for your vacation dollar. Over the past few years the cost of cruising has come down as the number of mega ships and available staterooms has increased. Cruise lines now look to on-board spending as a significant revenue source.
But, one can cruise within a budget by taking full advantage of what actually is included in your cruise fare and charging only extras within your budget. 
Included in your cruise fare at no extra cost are: 
  • Your cabin, all its amenities, daily service but not crew gratuities. 
  • All your meals in either full-service or buffet style restaurants, some beverages and juices plus snacks and beverages to consume in-between. 
  • Most entertainment and on-board activities. 
  • Gymnasium and fitness equipment, pools, hot-tubs and saunas. 
Not included in your fare are expensive and cleverly promoted extra spending opportunities:
  • Alcoholic beverages, gambling, specialty restaurants, formal pictures, some daily activities, shore excursions, spa treatments, special shopping offers and crew gratuities. 
  • Once on-board and into your fun and relaxing cruise vacation, it doesn't take much to start charging. 
  • Pick, choose and charge only those extras within your budget. 
  • Check your charges daily or they will add up quicker than you think. 
When the time comes to settle the bill, some passengers are so shocked at how much they have overspent, they may be deterred from future cruise vacations. Don't spoil your cruise by overspending!
Most at risk of on-board overspending are first-time cruisers while more seasoned and experienced cruisers are moving to the more-inclusive higher end cruise lines like Oceania, Regent and Silverseas.
