I voted, I am a sucker for the ship pictures. We always book the ship's tours and with our recent European cruises they can get rather pricey. I do allot an amount to "throw away" in the casino but don't always spend it all.
Not interested in the specialty dining as we are always pleased with the main dining room.

I voted for practically everything on the list. We spend a lot on drinks and bottles of wine, plus Linda hits the spa at least once or twice. Throw in some jewelry shopping and buying a bunch of photos and you've got a big tab, even before shore excursions and specialty restaurants.
JV The 4 stages of cruising: planning, anticipation, experience and reflection.
Coming up: Celebrity Millennium Wine Cruise(9/17/10), Celebrity Century(1/15/11) and Celebrity Eclipse Italian Mediterranean(7/2/11)
I voted shore excursions and alcoholic beverages. We enjoy wine with dinner and almost always order a bottle. Not big on other adult beverages, though.
I try to keep my DH out of the art galleries. And believe it or not, out of the jewelry stores. He thinks I always need more and I really don't. I mean after all, how many rings and necklaces can you wear doing housework?
And oh yeah, the casino. Those 20's sure can go fast if you aren't winning.

Adult Beverages, Photos if they are good, Casino, Excursions... I should have checked them all. We did better on our last cruise. Only a few photos met my high standards (I usually hate how I look). I won in the Casino but no savings last time on the wine and beverages!!

Drinks for Dickie, shopping for me and extra tips from both of us
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.
Drinks for DH, Excursions for both of us, Casino for me and must make sure to tip.
You know me, Lulu. Drinks and casino. Many times they cost as much as the whole cruise(including airfare), but hey, you can't take it with you and you only live once
