How much money should i bring on my cruise ?
The drinks and anything else you buy on ship will go on your on-board cruise account. At the end of the cruise you pay with a credit card, unless you arrange to pay by cash. Any tours you book, photos you buy, or “specialty restaurants you use will also go on your cruise card. Drinks of cruise ships are generally in the range of $7 to $9 including the 15 percent gratuity that is included in each tab. Beer and wine are slightly less, maybe $6 to $7. But again they will go on your tab; you don’t have the option on ship to use cash for anything except the casino. I suggest taking between $200 and $300 cash and if you have a debit care there will be ATM’s on ship where you can get more cash.
