Hope you enjoy your first cruise! I have taken as little as $200 and as much as $800 for a cruise... I love slots so they usually get most of it. Instead of a soda card, take your own sodas. If you like certain drinks (bourbon and coke, vodka/cranberry) you can have a bottle of booze waiting in your room when your board and then save a bundle by fixing your own drinks. I almost always get a couple of the souvenir drinks, which are a huge ripoff but I love them.
We tip the guys on the lido deck $1 every other visit. There is a built in gratuity on each alcoholic drink but these guys can be your best friend. Be sure to check your "tear away schedule" every day that is left in your room. You can find fun (free) things to do and win your own souviner.
