The sticker price is just the beginning. You think a cruise is all-inclusive? Adorable.
Drinks, specialty restaurants, and Wi-Fi are often extra. A 100-day voyage on basic internet? That’s $1,500 just to post sunset photos.
And shore excursions? A private tour of the Pyramids? That’s an extra $2,000—or more if you want a camel with a name.
The Great Tipping Tango
Gratuities are mandatory. A typical world cruise adds $15 to $25 per day per person. For a 100-day trip, that’s $2,500 just for saying “thank you.”

Then there’s laundry. You think they’ll wash your socks for free? Nope. That’s another $500 to smell fresh in 40 countries.
By the end, your “budget” cruise now costs more than your cousin’s wedding. Twice.
