Your ticket covers the basics: the cabin, all meals (yes, you can eat a dozen lobster tails at 2 AM), and basic entertainment like bingo and questionable magic shows. But here’s the sneaky part: drinks, specialty dining, Wi-Fi, and shore excursions are extra. Expect to drop another $5,000 to $15,000 on those over the whole trip. A single glass of wine at dinner costs more than your Netflix subscription. Pro tip: Invest in the unlimited beverage package unless you enjoy weeping into your water glass.
Shore excursions are the real wallet-killers. Want to see the pyramids? That’s $200. A helicopter ride over New Zealand’s glaciers? $600. One unlucky passenger’s accidental purchase of a Himalayan yak wool scarf? Priceless. Surprising fact: Some cruise lines include airfare in the price, but only if you’re flying from their preferred airport. If you’re from Boise, you’re basically paying for a second mortgage.
