Cruise: This onboard activity could have unexpected costs for passengers – could you save?

If food and drink are a vital part of your holiday relaxation, the best thing to do is consider the upfront fee for a package which includes alcohol as part of its offering, reducing the risk of unexpected costs.

Alexander adds: “The best way to ensure you do not overspend, is to book an all-inclusive cruise holiday.

“If, however, you don’t want to feel restrained and want to do your own thing, as and when you please, you can book add-ons, like shore excursions, drink packages and other extras before your departure.

“In either of these cases, you will have your budget pretty much down to a T before you set sail.”
