Ed,
Everyone has a different budget so you will get 100 different answers from 100
people. You have the price of the cruise plus around $125 for taxes and port
fees. As you said airfare, hotel, taxi to get you to the port. Meals before and
after the cruise. Everything on the ship is included (food entertainment, etc.)
I never buy anything at the gift shops onboard but others may buy a t-shirt or
pictures or other items in the gift shop. Beer and wine are extra. You also
have to add in excursions at the ports. Prices vary depending on what excusion
you do. (Most cruise lines have the excursions and prices on the website.) Some
people may buy t-shirts at the ports as well. Also, add in tips (around $10-$13
per night.) The cruise line will take your credit card number before you board
and give you a pass to use. You give that pass to purchase anything onboard.
The people working on the ship will not accept cash. At the end of the cruise,
your credit card is billed. You are given a r
eceipt on the last day of the detailed billing so anything that isn't yours
can be disputed.
Personally, I never buy tourists t-shirts (I have too many shirts now.) Nor do
I buy anything on the ship except a wine or two. My cruise ship bill is usually
under $25. I book all excursions on my own because the cruise lines will mark
it up. Since everything is paid for before I leave the house, I don't bring
much cash with me.
