During the past 6 months, I have cruised twice and I’m going on another cruise in October… I’ve discovered a few tips to help save money during your cruise… (to be able to cruise more, of course…). I’ve partnered with Jenn from Because I’m Cheap to provide my tips to her audience as well. Going on a cruise can be a very fun and exciting experience for you and your family. It can also be expensive if not properly planned. There are ways to save money and still have a fabulous time. These are my top nine tips.

Great tips! I have never been on a cruise so I didn’t even know some of these things existed! I have been considering taking my mom on a cruise and am all about sticking to a budget! Thanks for posting!

I want to go on cruise!! Last time I went it was 18 year ago

miss (@thedealmatch) says
i’ve never been on a cruise..i thought you’ll get free foods inside ( all inclusive). I would love to go, maybe next year
Divine Elements of Design says
All food and drinks (water, tea, coffee, and lemonade) are pretty much standard on most cruises. Most cruises charge for soda and alcohol. As far as food, most cruises have specialty restaurants that they charge around $25 per person. The main dining hall is free and is really nice and have a wonderful menu. Personally, I think we’ve paid enough to get on the cruise, there is no need to pay for a specialty restaurant.
Lindsay says
I’m saving this for when we actually get to go on that cruise.
Divine Elements of Design says

magknj72 says
I’ve never been on a cruise, not sure I would like being on a boat that long
Divine Elements of Design says
It’s not for everyone. Maybe you can try a short 3 day cruise if you ever decide to give it a try. Thanks for stopping by.
megdgonzalez says
Wow! That is a lot of cruising. My grandparents go on a cruise or two a year. I will have to pass this along to them. Have you ever tried an all-inclusive resort? That is my husband and I’s relaxation vacation of choice?
Divine Elements of Design says
Yes ma’am, we do the all inclusive resorts as well. Maybe I should write a blog post on that next. Thanks for your suggestion!! 😀
leybainpublic says
Truly great post. Love the tips you got here!
Penny Struebig says
Good tips! Cruises can get expensive with all the add on things available.
Divine Elements of Design says
Yes, we can’t get into the trap of purchasing all of the add on things. They are not necessary to have a great time.
Jenn says
What great tips! Cruising can be so pricey but I love your ideas for saving a bit while there!
