A Few Things To Save Cash Before Boarding The Ship

By Norman Tales


If you are looking for ways to save some money for the cruise that you are planning to take, there are plenty of ways that you can do this beyond getting a good price on the tickets. Read on and discover a few things that you can do to save money before you board the ship.

My first rule is that you should take things with you that you already own.

One of the biggest ways to blow your money is to run out on a shopping spree right before you go. There is no reason, especially if you are looking to save some money, to buy a whole line of new clothes just so you can look good on deck. Take what you already have at home.

You can also apply the same reasoning to your bags, and you can spend money on other things than a new suitcase. Not to mention, the only time someone is going to see you with your bags is when you are getting on and off the ship anyway, and chances are that nobody is going to be looking at you and laughing at your luggage.

Keep your credit cards at home and use cash instead.

Keep your credit card handy in case of an emergency, but other than that it is better for you to leave it in your cabin or better yet, bring one, but keep the others at home. You can easily get carried away and end up spending a lot of money on your cruise, so setting a budget and using cash will keep you in balance. There is nothing like coming home from a trip and not having to pay a bill for the experience.

Don't forget to bring your camera with you.

You are going to definitely want to take pictures when you go, and depending on what kind of cruise you are on, you can end up taking a lot of them. Make sure that your camera has enough memory to handle a lot of files, and if you can bring your laptop to transfer them, that will free up even more room.

Do some planning before you go and you can budget yourself in a way that you can have a good time when you go on your cruise. However, if you don't take some steps ahead of time, you will be shocked at how much you owe when you open the credit card statements when you get home.
