Budget Cruising Tips
If you like paying full price for cruises and book all your shore excursions through the ship, and don’t care how much it costs, you are in the wrong place. (sorry)
if you like getting the best price you can on your cruise and like “do it yourself” shore excursions to get the most fun out of every dollar you spend, you are at the right place
I LOVE to Cruise and help others find good deals, figure out the best things to do and share the things i have learned to help you avoid the ” i wish we would have known….” or “if we would have known about that we could have……” I have put together from research and personal experience alot of information that will help you have a great experience on your cruise, and welcome input from others if you want to share some of your experience/tips.
