Well, there's more besides the 'rooms are 2p'. It doesn't include food for example... You have to buy that, and it can be pretty expensive because the restaurants on the boat have a monopoly. The other thing is that cruise ships usually have mandatory gratuities that can be pretty expensive.
- letney 13y agoNo. Every US based cruise I've ever been on or heard about has free meals. Its common to hear people talk about gaining 10 lbs on a cruise because they ate so much.
- Avalaxy 13y agoSeriously? On European cruises (at least the ones I've been with) the food cost money (and lots of it).
- letney 13y agoYes. At the sit down dinners I often couldn't decide on an entree -- so I would just order both. Drinks (including soda, coffee, and of course alcohol) are very much not free though. You are also not allowed to bring any alcohol on board. Some cruises have begun charging "charging extra for new premium amenities such as fancy alternative restaurants" [1] -- but the run of the mill buffets are all you can eat and free.
