Rare ashank1m Posted April 7, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) I am always looking to find a good cruise deal and thinking of long term cruise in future, I tinker around in spreadsheet to see what make good sense. sometime main stream cruise line seem cheaper but then after adding costs (drinks, spec meal, gratuity, excursion, laundry, wifi, etc) sometimes luxury lines can be very competitive. So, I did a spreadsheet to kind of put few cruises line together to compare the actual cost. Hope some will find it useful. 1. First tab has Cruise Comparison worksheet (Blank worksheet, you plug in the cost) 2. second tab has What each cruise lines provided (it is short put together so it may not be comprehensive.) 3. Third tab has loyalty program overview (it has some of my opinion which you can ignore as everyone has diff needs.)

Missymssy Posted April 9, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Extremely useful! Thank you. I have only taken one cruise, and after shopping around (ok, only a little), I ended up going with Regent. When it said on their site "call for quote", I ended up with an unadvertised really lower price! I do know they offer savings to book another while on board, but, it isn't something I can afford to do that often! I have an Alaska cruise booked with Viking Ocean in 2019, but again, it was a limited time offer that included air, and TA got me additional savings. So keep that in mind-always be on lookout for specials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FantasticalFroggs Posted April 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Thank you for sharing! It will be very helpful. I travel on a very tight budget so I do lots of research but didn't have a spreadsheet for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
