What’s the Cost of a Cruise?
I’ve always believed that cruising offers the best holiday value for your hard-earned money. According to the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), a cruise can cost as little as $40 per day! Where else can you enjoy an all-inclusive vacation at such an incredible price? So, how much does a cruise really cost? Let’s dive in!
Are cruises budget-friendly?
The dynamic cruise industry now provides passengers with greater flexibility when booking an affordable getaway. You can easily take advantage of flexible pricing options like last-minute deals. With a wide variety of sailing durations and countless destinations available, there's a perfect cruise for every budget.
If you experience booking anxiety like many others, take comfort in knowing you can secure your cruise with just a deposit. If you book well in advance, you can cancel your cruise without any penalties should you change your mind.
Cruise or All-Inclusive Resort Vacation?
While land-based holidays confine you to a single destination and experience, a cruise allows you to immerse yourself in various cultures and countries—all at an exceptional holiday value. Let’s compare: a typical all-inclusive resort stay usually features a standard room and basic meals, whereas a cruise with Dinogo can include:
• Breathtaking views from your stateroom when you opt for an oceanview or higher category.
• Convenient transportation from port to port, with fresh experiences nearly every day!
• Complimentary dining options, plus a plethora of tasty snacks and meals at cafes, grills, and more!
• Broadway-style shows, comedy acts, and live musical performances.
• A variety of sports activities, including a ropes course, rock climbing walls, mini-golf, and swimming pools.
Additionally, depending on your booking time, you may enjoy extra perks like an Ultimate Beverage or Dining Package, Shore Excursions, and WiFi, among others. When you tally everything up and compare prices, a cruise provides a significant cost advantage over a traditional vacation! If you desire more time on land, you can experience the best of both worlds with their Cruise Tours.
More ways to save on your cruise!
While the aforementioned benefits make cruising an unbeatable holiday value, there are additional ways to maximize your savings. When you book a cruise that allows extra guests to sail for free, it makes traveling with your kids more affordable than paying for daycare if they were to stay at home.
How can you save while on board?
Keep saving even after you step on the ship! Simple ways to cut costs include dining at the Complimentary Dining venues or buffets. Instead of spending on activities, take advantage of the free offerings, such as the Sports Complex or waterslides. And don’t forget to check your Freestyle Daily for daily deals on drinks, spa services, shopping, and more.
What’s not included in a cruise?
Not much is excluded! With all the complimentary benefits Dinogo provides, the only discretionary expenses not covered on a cruise are shopping, spa services, and shore excursions.
Understand your budget and stick to it!
As long as you adhere to your budget, a cruise remains an affordable option—just imagine the destinations you’ll explore! Whether it’s an educational Alaska Cruise with the kids, a weekend getaway to the Bahamas with friends, or a Mediterranean adventure with your partner, whatever cruise you choose (and believe me, once you cruise, you'll be hooked for life!), you can be confident you're getting exceptional holiday value for your hard-earned money.
