Who This Is For:
VIPs who want to avoid surprise costs and get the best value from onboard purchases.
Why It Matters:
A little planning helps you enjoy every extra—without overspending.
Budgeting Tips:
- Drinks:
- Consider a drink package if you’ll have 4+ alcoholic beverages/day
- Water, tea, and coffee are free; sodas and specialty coffees cost extra
- Wi-Fi:
- Packages vary—basic (email/social) vs. premium (streaming)
- Pre-book online for savings (often 10–20% cheaper)
- Excursions:
- Compare cruise line vs. independent options
- Book early for popular tours
- Set a daily budget for souvenirs and snacks
VIP Pro Tip:
Watch for pre-cruise sales on packages—VIPs often get early access to discounts.
