When we go on a cruise, we put cash on our onboard account to avoid any big surprises. We can always put more cash on the account if needed, but it really makes us aware of our spending so when we get offered all those things like photos or drinks of the day, we’re quite aware of how much is left on our account. Once, my wife woke up with dry eyes and a quick trip down to the ship’s store to buy some Visine = $12 charge on our account. Ouch. It’s just too easy to swipe the card! We cruise because we find it an affordable way to see a lot, but we watch our dollars pretty closely. On our last cruise, one of those unforseen expenses was the ATM fees. $6 on the ship, and then $12 at one of our ports.
