Why Use a True Cost Calculator?

Cruise lines advertise base fares that exclude mandatory costs like daily gratuities ($16–$26/day per person), port fees ($20–$22/day), drink packages ($60–$110/day), WiFi ($16–$42/day), and specialty dining ($24–$135/meal). These hidden costs can add 40–80% to your advertised fare. Our calculator shows you the real total before you book.
