What isn t included?
Generally, any items of a personal nature won t be included. Items in the gift shop and money to gamble in the casino are clearly your choice. Some ships have optional specialty restaurants that might have a modest surcharge to cover the cost of gratuities for the service staff. There s a charge for things like bingo games, onboard lotteries, alcoholic drinks and organized shore excursions (but you re free to walk off the ship in port and explore on your own). There s no charge for the use of the gym (unlike most hotels), but some ships might charge to use the spa. Massages and other spa treatments are extra, of course.
