In this video I share my experience booking my first cruise with Royal Caribbean. I booked a 7 day Western Caribbean cruise sailing in February for less than $75 per day. I also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing certain add-ons such as drink and dining packages. Even though I do like to indulge in some of the extras at times, this no-frills approach allowed me to try a cruise line that I'd been wanting to try for some time. I booked an interior, guaranty cabin and sailed during the off-season. This enabled me to snag a rock bottom price for this cruise. Overall, this was a good experience and I really don't feel like I missed anything important by not including any add-ons.
