Are Costs Listed....

[butterflysweeti]

Are the stuff you have to pay for clearly listed?

 

Just wondering how I will know what is free & what costs extra.

 

Obviously alcohol & souvenirs have a cost, but is the cost listed for all to see? I would prefer no "surprises" Thanks :)

It's free unless you see a price listed. For instance, a bar of cafe with specialty coffees, pastries, etc. If they ask for your cruise card, it isn't free. If you aren't sure...ask! EM

On most cruise lines plain coffee, hot tea, ice tea, milk, juice at breakfast and all food except speciality restraunts is free. If you are a pop or fancy coffee drinker, buy the "pop card" which is usually just a sticker added to your sea pass as it is the best deal. On Princess lines you can choose between two different pop cards. One is just pop and one includes milk shakes and mocktails. Speciality restraunts range from a flat $4.99 (Johnny Rockets) to $25 per person for the fancy steak places. Some cruise lines also offer water, juice and wine cards. IMHO, the only thing that was not really clear cut that there was a price or fee involved was the sail-a-way drink. They act like they are going to give it to you then after you take a drink the ask for your sea pass (room card); RUDE but true. Of course all alcohol, souvenirs, photos and some of the activites cost more but they are clearly marked just like any other store or a big sign. Also the arcade, casino and some activities like bingo, wine tasting and virtual golf are not free. Hope this helps.... Have a super fun vaca!!!!

If you are paying extra for something, you will have to sign for it.

If it costs, you will be handed a pen and a receipt to sign, and you will get a copy.

 

If you drink a lot, you will have a lot of signed receipts.:cool:

Not all things are clearly marked IMHO. It wasn't until my 2nd cruise that I found out that room service was included and did not cost extra. Of course you have to tip room service.

There are no prices listed on the room service menu (other than booze) so it's free.

On Carnival you still have to sign for a room service deliver- Its free though. (tip in cash)

 

The guys walking around the pool bar with the fancy drinks on a tray - there is no sign on that tray- they are NOT free.

The guy will ask you if you would like a drink--making it sound like its free- Its not.

Great advice. Thanks everyone !!! :)

of course nothing is "free" it's just included in the price of the fare you paid for the cruise.;)
