Is it an extra expense or a reward?

You can vote for alcohol as many times as you want. Especially considering how much mark up there is on it....

Seems we all have them for one reason or another!

Do you factor them in Before-You-Go so your final bill is not a ((SHOCKER)) to you?

On our last cruise, hubby bought some of the photos -- said it came to about $100.

I actually bought a drink, but then it was New Years Eve. The only other alcoholic drink I had during those two weeks was at the Captain Circle's party. I also bought some tee shirts and a mug on the ship.

My main expenses are pictures and internet, unless it is a faraway cruise, when we do shore excursions through the ship. but generally, we stick to the cheap ones. Alcohol consumption is generally limited to whatever is free. CJ
