One, and perhaps the only, downside to cruising is the cost. They charge you a high price, and everything on board, with few exceptions are priced for high profits. Understand that the price for the cruise includes all your food. So, you can get all the lemonade and tea you want from most of the day, but a glass of coke will cost you $3.99. Yes, that’s the charge. We saw a lot of folks spending a lot of money on beverages. We bought one Photo of Brenda and I, and it cost…$17.99. Yep.
One of the things that showed up on our bill was a charge of $145 for “tips”. In fact, they wanted us to pay this tip before we had even set foot on the boat. What? I thought tips were voluntary and that they were “extra” to reward great service. How can we give a tip BEFORE we have received any service at all? Most of the food we ate was self-serve with o service. True enough our small stateroom got good service, but $29 per day for less than 30 min (maybe 15 min?) in our tiny stateroom?? And, I am thinking the attendant also draws some salary for his/her work.
