GREAT FRIGGIN' ARTICLE!!! My wife and I just, really last week, completed a 5-day to the Caribbean, with Carnival. So many hidden costs, but in the end we did it right and kept costs low. For example, excursions, we took two in Grand Cayman and Cozumel, each were only $130 ($65 each) so a total of $260 for two very nice trips to those areas that included all beer and and buffet food while on the excursion. Per the price of a beer on ship, I paid for the excursion twice over just in the beer and rum punch we drank. Also, ALL costs of excursion were included in the $65, meaning no taxi, no meals, no drinks, no tips were needed. Good deals all around and great pictures and that is one thing you forgot to mention in your costs, PICTURES!!! $11.95 EACH AND THEY TAKE A BUNCH. No, you don't have to buy them, but there are some pretty good ones. Other than that, when you buy a beer at the bar, get an Australian oil can size beer, the Foster Lager..it's about $1 more than a regular beer, but the size pays for it, like getting 2 beers for one. Good cruise, good times, and oh yea, we won $570 in the casino so that paid for a lot of the costs too. Good article, keep writing them!
