Couldn't be more wrong. 

 

 

Unless you're talking specifically about smuggling in drinks.  

 

I'm talking about being more cost conscious as a whole.  I.e. cutting unnecessary costs to spend more of your budget on fun things.

There's a real easy way to cut costs if that's what you're truly about. Guess what it is?

Cruises suck balls. When I take some time off, I want to be on my own schedule. I don't need the herd of cattle all getting off the ship, only to have to be back by 4PM, cuz we're outta here! Fug all that.

 

Same here.  I might take a greek island cruise if we go to Greece, but only because ships are the best way to get to the islands from Athens.  Or I might just take a ferry if possible. But cruises in general have no appeal to me.

lol this is turning into more than I expected.

For what it's worth, we're not smuggling alcohol and it was never about if we could afford to pay it. I mean, if anything smuggling some alcohol would have saved us $100-200 dollars, nothing too great. Our bill at the end is still going to be more than we want and we'll end up paying it because we can. People try to get alcohol on board to avoid the price gouging that cruise lines adhere to. I know we signed up for it, but that doesn't mean we can't try to save a couple hundred bucks. Calling it trashy and classless is a little lost on me, but whatever.

As for those who mentioned the drink plan, I already posted my counterpoints to that.
