Ok so to flip it what has been your BIGGEST sea pass account bill on a cruise ?

[octagonmike]

Mine was last week

 

9 Days on Explorer = $1700 including $300(ish) in Medical centre for a football (soccer) injury, $250(ish) in Spa for my wife, $85 in Portofino for cover charge and a bottle of wine, $200 in ADDITIONAL tips for waiters and bartenders. Add to that at least $500 lost in the casino and I am looking at between $2200 - $2500 for 2 of us on my last cruise.

[bionicman97]

Less than $200

 

We do private tours generally.

So do we. We didn't spend a single penny on Excursions via RC

[papajak]

$750, which doesnt sound bad until I remember it was a 4 night cruise! :eek: Lots of wine and a couples massaage. A true vacation!:D

This will be interesting to watch. :)

 

But I do have one question...is there a way to view your account balance while on the ship or do they make it hard to find that out?

[Bakincakes]

Not on RCI..Holland...grand cruise...DH had a bad time in the casino:mad:..lets just say the Manhattan phone book probably weighed less.:eek:

 

That was a few years ago...I let him live...that time.;)

Easy to check - use the interactive TV in your room.

LOL we are going on a 14 night TA - my budget for daily spending is 100.00 (for three people) plus tours and tips. if I get out for less then 2500 i will be happy. (wine/soda card will be pre bought)

You can view your account at anytime on the TV in your room.

 

A little tip........Don't :) it could spoil your holiday.

 

The thing is if you dont drink beer (which we rarely do) you're going to be looking at around $10 a drink each every time you have a glass of wine or a cocktail or a spirit. 4 or 5 of those each a day and that's $100 a day gone pretty much. Who cares ? You're on holiday.

Thanks Chester & Brewster! I thought that was the case but couldn't remember for sure. :)

I don't think you'll be spending too much on shore trips on a TA cruise ;)

[foxesden1]

LOL

 

Nassa, Tenerife, Cadiz, Malaga, Valencia, and Barcelona.

 

Kinda adds up!

[barbie5401]

It might sound strange to some but we tend to spend more on sea days then days in port...casino, spa, coffee shop, shopping, etc.

 

What should I be looking at for prices of tours while on the Rhaposdy for next year's Alaska crise? Understand they are pricey and sell out fast.

[midasct]

$969 for a nine day cruise...our only cruise so far. We just returned on Saturday. Would have been $215 less but DH forgot to call BINGO!!! :rolleyes:

[seaofwonder]

$2800 on a 7 day. Most of it casino. It was a losing trip...but still had a blast!

[schwarz269]

I had $1400 on a 7 day cruise between 2 people. I did witness a couple have a bill over $6k on the freedom a few weeks ago...but we all had a good time.

[CoachT]

$26,000 last fall on Freedom of the Seas.

[MyNameIsGermy]

A little over $5k on a 4 night trip - it was cheaper to stock my bar with alcohol I could buy on board than what I was paying a wholesaler. Luckily, we were traveling with a group, so everyone was nice enough to carry some through customs. :D

We NEVER "charge" our gambling expenses--cash only!...that's a huge factor in a big bill!

Did you do a bunch of B2B's or was it only for one week??

[drakes2]

$2,600 on a 7 day cruise four years ago on RCI. I bought some beautiful jewellery onboard which I wear very often and have received many compliments on. We just returned from an 11 day Celebrity cruise and they actually owed me $43.00.

One week. $3000 cash advance at the casino each night. Treated the group to Chops and Portofino's as a reward for a job well done. Drinks, spa for all the wives. It adds up.

[bmarchal]

We can't compete with who spent the most...OMG $26 grand???...but we have left with a 000 account when we tip in cash. Unfortunately when we get home and see our RCCL Visa bill for the future cruises my husband charged, I sometimes have to blink twice. It's not the down payment, it's the future pay off bills. I just keep telling myself that I'm just that much closer to another free cruise. ;)

[smoosh21]

well mine was $650, but that was after a $250 stockholder credit. My partner had another $800 on his card, so our cabin spent 1450 on a 14 night cruise.
