You’ll probably find this easier
on a cruise than for other vacations because of the all inclusive
cruise programs. The cabin, on board entertainment and food are
generally always included. Extra items for which to budget for your
vacation:
- Taxes, surcharges, and fees. Including
airport fees, handling fees, departure taxes and port charges.
You should verify which fees and port taxes are included in
your cruise rate.
- Alcoholic beverages, bottled water and
occasionally soft drinks are not included.
- Cost of reaching the ship, airline tickets
not booked in package, shuttle service or in port parking fees
if not included.
- The costs of staying at port before or
after the cruise, such as hotel, transportation and meals.
- Expenses while in port such as taxis,
entertainment/activities, optional off ship meals.
- Some shore excursions.
- Shopping purchases made both on and off
the ship.
- Travel insurance, to provide for cruise
cancellation and medical coverage.
