Save On Parking
We saved $85.00 on parking at the dock because we had a Handicap Hang tag on the rear view mirror. Regular parking was $85.00 but Handicap parking was free. I can’t guarantee all cruise lines have the same policy (We were took a Carnival Cruise out of Charleston, SC.). But hang your tag just in case.
Save Money On Your On board Credit Card
Make sure you have enough money on your ships prepaid debit card to cover surprise expenses. For example, tips may be automatically deducted from your on board debit card at a set rate. That can be a pretty good chunk-of-change depending on the number of days you cruise.
Save Money On A Safe Adventure
Take you own tour rather than the cruise offerings. For example, take a walking tour of the area close to the dock. Make sure the area is relatively safe if you choose to do this. But this way you decide how much you spend and you get to experience what the locals are really like.
