Planning a cruise on the Carnival Splendor and wondering if you really need to spend extra money on dining? In this video, I break down the best included food options (the free stuff!) versus the paid specialty dining upgrades.
From the legendary Guy's Burger Joint to the upscale Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse, I’ve reviewed the options to help you decide where to save your money and where it’s worth splashing out. We cover breakfast, lunch, dinner, and of course... the cocktails.
If you are sailing from Sydney or just love Carnival Cruise Line, this guide will help you budget for your next holiday!
