What is not included in a cruise?
Specialty dining restaurants, alcoholic beverages (unless a package is purchased), spa treatments, casino play, shore excursions, gratuities, Wi-Fi, and travel insurance are typically not included in the base fare. These extras can add $1,000–$3,000 to a week-long family cruise if not budgeted for in advance — our hidden costs of cruising guide breaks down every category.
