There's lots of free stuff - usually accompanied by a sales pitch.

The art auction has free champagne and also often has a drawing for a free print. Plus it's kind of a handy little art lesson if you're interested.

The jewelry stores often have a contest/drawing that you can enter for free jewelry if you go by their store.

It seems like there is always a rum and/or whiskey tasting in the gift shop to try to entice you into buying said rum or whiskey.

The port lectures sometimes include free champagne and often have drawings.

You can pick up "free gifts" (I love that - aren't all gifts free??) at stores in Ports that advertise in the handouts that NCL gives you the night before going to the ports.

The gym usually has one free yoga, pilates, and aerobics class (each - not all at the same time) at the beginning of the cruise to try to entice you into buying an exercise package.

I've found that if you really try, you can get a bunch of free alcohol and then work it off without paying much of anything. But then again, I have over $100,000 in student loan debt and spent waaaaaaay too much time in school, so I've mastered the art of being cheap.

"I have to admit, I was looking forward to the Falklands – having signed up for a glass bottom boat ride so I could see the Argentinean Navy." Priceless!

That was my favorite line too!

I'm still confused about the person that said this post was as funny as a funeral. I've been to some funny funerals, well - wakes (the Irish side of the family gets kinda crazy). But think that wasn't supposed to be a compliment?
