| 4 Ways to Save on Cruises |

1. Skip the specialty restaurants that charge a cover charge. I've always found the food in the main dining rooms delicious. I think the cover charges are a waste of money, and it encourages cruise lines to charge for food that used to be included in the price.
2. I avoid the alcohol completely - unless it's free. Some cruises will provide free champagne at art auctions, upon embarkation, and past-members special cocktail parties.
3. Because cruise fares have been so discounted lately, cruise lines make their money through gambling, bingo, alcohol, onboard shopping, art auctions and shore excursions. Keep this in mind when spending money onboard.
4. Depending on the country, it may be wise to pay extra for the shore excurson through the cruse line. When booked through the cruise line, if the shore excursion runs late, the ship MUST wait for you. (This has happened to me on two different cruises). This piece of mind may be worth the extra cost - ESPECIALLY in undeveloped countries!
