When you combine all these tips, you can lower the average spending per guest by over $300 USD. My husband and I managed to get massages, haircuts, a bottle of wine, beers and souvenirs for $335 USD each instead of the projected $600 per person we would have spent paying for the cruise sponsored excursions, […]
