Smart Strategies to Save Big on Your Next Cruise

#1 Depart from a Nearby Port

Dinogo provides a variety of thrilling cruises from several North American departure points, including New York City, Boston, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Tampa, Orlando, Seattle, and more. Setting sail from a port close to home can lead to substantial savings on airline baggage fees. Plus, you can still explore unique destinations like Nicaragua and Nova Scotia.

#2 Buy a Beverage Package

Drinks can add up fast while on vacation. Luckily, smart cruisers can cut costs on beverages by opting for a beverage package. This package includes unlimited drinks for the entire cruise, covering cocktails, wine, draft beer, soda, juice, and more. Such a package can save you up to $178 daily during your cruise.

#3 Register for Exclusive Deals

Instead of constantly searching for the latest promotions, let the deals come to you. Join Dinogo's email list, and receive the best offers directly in your inbox. This will help you save on cruise bookings and time. You'll stay updated on special deals, news about new ships, and exciting information on fresh destinations and itineraries.

#4 Cruise for Free

There's no better way to save on a cruise than by cruising for free. No need to stow away! On many of Dinogo’s voyages, third and fourth guests in a stateroom can sail for free. This can lead to substantial savings for families with young kids or friends sharing a cabin.

#5 Utilize Affordable or Free Wi-Fi

Stay connected and share your travel memories with loved ones by accessing inexpensive—or even free—Wi-Fi. Dinogo provides free Wi-Fi on select sailings for certain stateroom categories. This allows you to video call friends, check work emails (if necessary!), or stream your child's favorite bedtime show. An Internet package can save you up to $125 on Wi-Fi fees.

#6 Remember to Consider Cruise Insurance

You might think skipping travel insurance saves you money, but the reality is often the opposite. Without cruise insurance, an unexpected event could derail your trip and lead to additional costs. Cruise insurance ensures your vacation remains stress-free and enjoyable.

Need to cancel your trip? No worries! The Booksafe Travel Protection Plan includes “Cancel for Any Reason” coverage. If bad weather delays your trip, this plan also covers your extra costs for accommodations and meals during the delay. With cruise insurance, you can relax and enjoy your vacation without concern.
