After planning and booking a cruise, many forget that more money is needed to spend on board a cruise ship. Cruise ships are a fun way to travel, but also very expensive. Don't be afraid to travel if you consider a few important points.
Instructions
Step 1
Make a prepayment. When booking a cruise, some people pay a fee that includes transportation, accommodation, and most of the food. Some agencies offer to buy shore excursions in advance. This way you can be less worried about the lack of funds.
Step 2
Use a credit card. Most cruise ships allow credit card payments while cruising so passengers can easily purchase shore excursions and other essentials. This payment system is often used for drinks, as many cruise ships charge extra for soft drinks or cocktails.
Step 3
Have a bargaining currency on hand (dollars or euros). Many cruise ships have ATM machines on board so passengers can withdraw cash for gambling, jumping overboard, or drinking. In addition, in American ports (where the liner will stop), you can buy souvenirs or food.
Step 4
Give us a tip. Sometimes the cost of the tip is included in the menu or written in the travel brochure itself. Gratuities will help you get the staff to you.
