I wish this video had been around when we first started cruising. We took the whole family on the cruise and thought we had paid for everything and then came home with a huge bill that took us quite a while to pay off.

I'd love a part II which actual numbers of similar cruises. Like a Carnival vs NCL if you actually want to drink pop and do excursions.

The cheering girls cruisers made me SO happy!! Thanks for including that clip! Thanks to amazing cruise creators like you, I knew these extra "hidden" costs of cruising! It's still the BEST way to travel!

People who don't prepay gratuities can usually put onboard credit towards them before being out of pocket.

... unless you are a drinker. go alacarte at the bar ... sure a beer is $8.00++ but your not sitting there all day either ... if you drive to the port do not forget the cost of parking for the week ... never break out a $30 at the beach for a small purchase ... they might just grab the 20 and run ... carry small bills for this reason ...

Great video! I have been cruised for a long time and would give similar advice. I tell people to prepay for as much as you can before you ever get on the ship. It is often more economical to buy certain things in advance and this method usually means when you see your final bill there is little shock:)

[debmoser]

Clear and concise..Great info! You guys are rocking the vlogs!

[csmith]

Great video! Well thought out with easy to follow pertinent information! Great editing too with the media you added! Thanks for sharing! 😎😎😎

[stephladouceur]

Another great video. Sharon I used your video on the enveloppe trick on one of my family cruise and can confirm that it works!

[dianaschulz]

Valuable tips/ reminders for new and experienced cruises.
Good video!

[vonniebench]

Always great seeing you two. Yup, because of the suite cabin and length of our cruise in May, the insurance was a pretty penny. I still would never cruise without it. And I always pre-pay everything that I possibly can. Thanks for being a great travel agent!

I would like to point out that I'm pretty sure ice skating only exists on Royal and .... there's NO CHARGE! Also, most activities are free of charge on Royal such as ice skating, water slides, flow rider, rock climbing, zip line, etc.

Take more bills than you think you will need, especially 1s and 5s. I ended up with only a $20 on my last excursion. Lucky guide that day !

[rondacarney]

I've used your envelope method every cruise since you put out that video!!

[christinemarino]

Great video!! New to crusing, this is a must-see episode. We have about 22 cruises so far and always pay for everything we can in advance. One cruise last year, we ended up getting a very small refund. They overcharged for a port fee and refunded it back to my credit card. I even use the onboard credit before we sail. Great video!!!!😂❤❤

[DB-zpun]

I just wish they had to do like the airlines do.. The price you see includes all the basic fees and stuff for the base cruise... ie: port fees / taxes etc etc.. I get other add ons wont be included..

[MrToryhere]

The 5 star cruise lines don’t use this trick of charging a low fare and then making you pay for lots of things separately.

A few years again a cruise vlogger did a real price comparison between one of the mass market lines and Regent Seven Seas for a similar cruise It turned out that the all up price of Regent wasn’t much more than the mass market ship, and the product was much better. It sometimes is wise to compare the real prices, rather than the headline fare price.

art is the biggest scam on cruises. we won the raffle last cruise and they refused to allow us to take the print with us. They tried the shipping and framing scam and the art was crap anyway. We just declined it, since there was a charge and the art was junk to begin with. I knew art was a huge scam on the cruise, but my wife had to find out on her own lol.

[tonyasalas]

loved this video...i usually do envelopes for limo and porters and tips...did not think about daily...cool idea so thank you

[daloveofcruising]

Yeah.. we got scammed in the art b.s.😂😂. Lesson learned.
And for people that dont tip....THEY SHOULD BE BANNED!! we always pre-pay gratuity and pay a little extra cash to certain people that we deal with directly.
Great vid....keep posting
