Pleas help me see what I am leaving out that I need to budget for. Tips, shore excursions, photos, Palo, Spa Treatments, Adult Beverages, souvenirs, anything else?

Don't forget money to play Bingo!! I won $200.00 on our cruise last month!
My husband missed the $3600 jackpot by ONE number.

We put the $200.00 towards our "bill". Very small dent in very big bill!!

any sundries or otc meds you fail to pack, and if you're a big shopper don't forget to budget in the luggage over weight charge from the airlines

Don't forget about arcade cards, especially if you have teens or preteens (especially boys). Add tips, shopping, lunch, and maybe cab fare to your shore excursions. Also snorkeling gear at CC. Finally airport meals and parking.

If it helps - here is my budget for a 4 day Wonder for 5 people without any excursions (my kids are young). I tried to budget high so I would not have any surprises but I have a feeling that I will anyway. It's so easy to spend with the KTTW card! Of course we have traveling expenses since we are driving from NC to Florida. Better start saving now!!

Sounds about right to me but I usually end up spending more on the spa..I love the rainforest room and the Charkra Capsule! Every night we ordered lemonade from room service and cookies so that was an extra 150 for hte lemonade plus tip for room service for us. Luckily the arcade is nothing like the ones we have here, its prety lame on the shop so my daughter doesn't even like to go in there!
