Leja Posted July 17, 2017 Report Posted July 17, 2017 I want to know approximately how much money did you spend on your cruise? Quote
Matt Posted July 17, 2017 Report Posted July 17, 2017 It really varies. On my last cruise with my wife and I, we spent a grand total of $89 onboard, but on other cruises we have spent hundreds of dollars. Leja 1 Quote
MICHELLE Posted July 17, 2017 Report Posted July 17, 2017 totally agree with Matt - depends on what you do! if you don't have a drink package you can spend on drinks, ship store and shore tours seem to be the biggest item for me - I tend to spend about $300 on 7 night sailings cause I don't get the drink packages, just fyi.

DocLC Posted July 17, 2017 Report Posted July 17, 2017 On the cruise I just returned from, my bill up disembarking the ship was $23.07 for three. However, this is because we had onboard credit and had a refund of some port fees. If you prepurchase a lot ahead of time, it is very easy to have a very low balance to your onboard account. If you want to purchase everything onboard, it can be in the hundreds of dollars or more depending on your spending habits. Leja 1 Quote

Well, depending on how much of a casino person you are, you could conceivably just bring a few hundred in cash to cover your planned budget there. Not all of us gamble like Raye.

Wilson Posted July 18, 2017 Report Posted July 18, 2017 Now that we pre-purchase drink packages, excursions and specialty dining our onboard account is usually no more than $200 or $300. Leja 1 Quote
DAVE(Darkcabbie) Posted July 18, 2017 Report Posted July 18, 2017 My wife and i now always pre purchase all our trips , dinning and spa etc as you then only spend maybe $100.00 - $200.00 but it will obviously depend on what else you purchase on the ship . Usually hurts me though as my wife loves to buy from the Michael Kors shop on the Indy OOOUUUCH . Leja 1 Quote

mworkman Posted July 18, 2017 Report Posted July 18, 2017 It wasn't the cruise fare. Let's just say I will be keeping her away from the jewelry department on the next cruise ? mom2mybugs 1 Quote

Leja Posted July 18, 2017 Author Report Posted July 18, 2017 Could you recommand me a cruise for my first time? ;) Quote
BrianAlt Posted July 18, 2017 Report Posted July 18, 2017 My bill from my recent cruise was less than $300. I did have $300 of OBC and I did not have the drink package. At least half of what I spent was on bottles of wine with dinner. I have expensive taste in wine, especially when I'm at a specialty restaurant. Quote
