I prepay the cruise, the gratuities, and the excursions. Then I total up for dog boarding/grooming, hotel, gas, food on the road, parking, tips, onboard spending, casino, dining and shopping. I save that much and put it in my savings and take out the cash needed and put the rest on credit cards. I have always had some left over when the bills come in but, no worries on the vacations as all is paid for ahead of time. If I do make an unexpected purchase (like my watch last time) that's on me and the budget. Happy sailing to all and remember to always be kind.;)
