I’m currently helping to write The CLF Guide to Cruising. The chapter I’m working on is:

What is included in the price of my cruise ticket? Hidden Cruise Costs

Besides the general things (cabin, food, etc) that are common to most of the cruiselines, I’m researching what each of the majors charges. So I’m checking the lines’ sites and other resources, but I figure you guys will be a great source of info, too.

So, if you’ve cruised on Radisson/Regent lately, I would appreciate it if you can tell me free or fee. Also if you get certain items for free if you’re a Seven Seas Society member. You don't have to tell me the exact fees, just if it's free or fee.


1. Beverages: sodas, lemonade, hot chocolate, cocktails (at Captain’s parties, etc)

2. Speciality Restaurant cover charges

3. Speciality foods, ice cream, etc.

4. Internet use

5. Laundry

6. Sports on board (golf, etc)

7. Activities (crafts, what else has a fee???) – not counting horse racing, bingo, casino

8. Children’s program, in port kid-sitting, equipment (cribs, strollers, etc.)

9. Holiday freebies

10. In-cabin refrigerators

11. Special programming on in-cabin TVs, VCR/DVD loans

12. Special occasions (e.g. birthday cake)

13. Use of the gym, exercise classes

14. Enrichment classes

Thank you so much.
