shaggyofwv Posted July 25, 2010 #51 Share Posted July 25, 2010 We normally only spend $500-$700 onboard, but on our last cruise we went over $1,000. At the end of the cruise, when looking over the bill, I am still amazed that we can spend so much so easily. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnOrdinaryGirl Posted July 25, 2010 #52 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Don't know what my maximum spend is - I am careful to a point but without spoiling the holiday and I always have a fab time. I expect my wedding onboard Serenade was the most expensive though....not $26K mind but I'm sure I wouldn't struggle to spend it... and Im willing to take the challenge if anyone feels like funding it :) Happy sailing everyone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingatesl Posted July 25, 2010 #53 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Our typical budget is $100 per peson, per day. Usually go a little over ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free of the seas Posted July 25, 2010 #54 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Ours was $1,300. Thanks to the casino, BINGO!, and our expensive drinks-dh redbull & vodka and my summer breeze! I don't see how so many people spend so little! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjb317 Posted July 25, 2010 #55 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Wow, feeling pretty good about our bills now! Our highest ever was on our first cruise, 11 days on the Splendour. My husband almost had a heart attack when he saw our bill for $800:D. Since then, usually no more than $500. But we use cash for tips and casino so who knows how much we actually spend!

johneeo Posted July 25, 2010 #56 Share Posted July 25, 2010 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? Wake up in the morning, turn on the TV, and "I DID WHAT? I WAS WHERE?":eek: Every purchase (drinks included) will be listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary09 Posted July 25, 2010 #57 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I am not telling. I don't think it is anybody's business but mine. I assumed this was a tongue in cheek way of saying "more than I care to admit". :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathalain Posted July 25, 2010 #58 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I don't drink that much and I don't gamble at all, so I expect the bill will be very low. I think on the last cruise it came to about 200 dollars all told, and I was shocked even then because I didn't know what I'd bought to make it that high. I did have a couple of drinks and had charged an excursion on it, so that explained it, but it sure is easy to forget if you don't keep track of it! I'll probably loosen up a little on my upcoming cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiejade Posted July 25, 2010 #59 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Last cruise in Feb was a 4 nighter, bill was $302 and we had brought $200 cash onboard but didn't spend all of it:), We played bingo three nights, hit the casino several times, bought more pictures than necessary and drank a little.

Gracie115 Posted July 25, 2010 #60 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Since redeeming Royal Carib. Credit card points for OBC it's been a lot better.......first Celebrity cruise was over $3000, 2nd over $5000...much lower since then, average even without the OBC is about $1000 for a 7 nighter...biggest difference is we no longer do spa appointments...found they are less than satisfying, very over priced and done better on land!!!! Other than that we do what we want and pay up at the end!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gon2hwe Posted July 26, 2010 #63 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I think my biggest bill was $140. Our last cruise they owed me $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine66 Posted July 27, 2010 #64 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Guy next to me in line on Oasis had a bill of $5200. He was from England and his card was only approved for $5000. He actually said, well, I guess I have to go to the casino! :) Don't know what happened. Well this is scary, if he was only approved for 5000.00 how did he charge 5200.00? I was under the impression that the cruise line shuts you off when you hit your limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinleelee Posted July 27, 2010 #65 Share Posted July 27, 2010 This Aug we are sailing Liberty with our 4 kids (ages 10-29). We have not cruised in years. Back in the day, we blocked the kids ability to charge anything on their cards. This time, we foot the bill- celebrating birthdays etc- so I expect the tab to be significant. Good news is only 2 are able to drink on board- 20 yr old won't be 21 until Nov:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
