Cheap Cruises Essentials : 3 Pre-Trip Tips
By James Allen
|
If you are going to take the time and effort to book a cheap
cruise in order to save money, you should also be certain that
you are cost effective in you pre-trip preparations. Here are
several tips for keeping your costs down as you prepare for your
cruise.
Go with what you've got.
Your summer clothes from last season are fine for your cheap
cruise. You're going to relax, not to participate in an on-deck
fashion show. Don't go blow all your money before the trip on
new swimwear and shorts. Your old Hawaii shirts and last
summer's swim trunks will serve you just fine.
The same goes for your luggage. Nobody is going to be impressed
if you come on board with brand new leather travel bags. You're
going to be on a ship so stuffing everything into an old gym bag
is perfect. In fact, it will make you look like a real
"old-salt" to others on board.
Hide your plastic and bring cash.
While you should probably bring your credit card with you on
your cruise, consider it for emergency use only. For spending
money, set a budget ahead of time for things like souvenirs and
put this amount aside in cash or traveller's checks for your
cruise. This will keep you from over-spending and help you avoid
the "charge it" syndrome once you are on board.
Stock up on film before you leave.
Of course, no cruise would be complete without taking tons of
pictures of your trip to share with friends and relatives upon
your return. Film prices on the cruise ship are notoriously
expensive though. Stocking up on cheap rolls of film from your
local discount store will save you a bunch of money.
You've taken the time to book a cheap cruise - now use the tips
above to continue saving money before you leave. Being frugal
during your travel preparations will leave you with more money
to spend during your vacation. Enjoy your cruise!
