Dr. Michael Henson+FollowCruise Pro: 5 Things I Never Waste Money OnAfter 50+ cruises, I’ve learned what’s worth skipping. Drink packages? Not for me—I’d rather pay as I go. Ship spa days are overpriced, so I treat myself before I board. Room service fees? No thanks, I’ll hit the buffet. Lanyards? My phone case does the trick. And those pricey cruise excursions? I explore ports solo or with cheaper third-party tours. Save your cash for the real fun! #Travel #CruiseTips #TravelSmart20Share
