Cost of my balcony on Carnival Luminosa @julescruisecompanion

How much did a three-day in a balcony stateroom on Carnival Luminosa in December of 2022 cost? Before you Cruise you must have travel insurance. Travel insurance for me cost about $84. It is a cruise, so it must have an additional fee so that's about $5.40. I have a pre-existing condition so that was $25. I'm quite happy to pay $85.50 for travel insurance for a cruise. If you were driving to a cruise terminal you've got to park your car somewhere. This time I parked at Portside Parking and that was $134.10. I drove so I had to spend some money on some petrol and my average mileage is probably under 10 litres per Australian $20 for the petrol to get to the cruise terminal. One of the components of a cruise fare is the port fees and taxes and for cruising out of the Brisbane International Cruise terminal the port fees and taxes are $96. My balcony cabin I paid $180 for my balcony cabin. In total, the fare for the cruise was $276. Taking out the port fees in taxes as I say leaves me accommodation the food and the entertainment that is free so divide that by three which is $60 per night. Which is cheaper than any hotel room on land with the food and entertainment included. You would have seen one of my other videos where it was the cheapest cruise ever in the cabin just below here at on in #4248 which was an ocean view room, which I had for $21 a night. This is a balcony for $60 a night. How did it happen to me? You say that I'm crazy! I am a pre-existing customer I'm over 55 & for some reason, there was a really great deal. I'm always one for a great deal. Add up all those amounts port fees and taxes, petrol, parking, and the cruise that comes to about $515. I don't know considering my onboard spending and because it's only three nights I'll only spend about a hundred dollars or less maybe a bottle of wine and some bingo so that'll get me to around $100. That’s going to be $204/5 per night If I spend that little bit more about $225 a night. You wouldn't be able to find anything on land that compares to the prices that you can on a cruise ship.
