Sail and Sign Bill

[lla887]

Just wondering what the average sail and sign bill is for a 7 day cruise. Mine have ranged from $400 to $1200. What is your average sail and sign bill?

[Tree Hugger]

Only been on two cruises, the first time we spent ~$500 for the whole family of 4

 

Last time we spent $1,700 for just two of us, and the bulk of that was in the spa, we spent less than $10 on booze surprisingly.

We cruised with friends whose sail and sign bill was $3300 dollars. There was a little tension between them the morning that bill was delivered :).

On our Dream cruise in August the Sail and Sign bill was $24.59.....for four travelers, BUT we had $597 of OBC from Early saver!:eek:

We're not really big drinkers, will have a couple of sodas throughout the week, usually go to the Steakhouse at least once, don't purchase anything of real value from the Jewelry store, and I usually have one spa day.

 

NOW if we were big drinkers, our S&S would be around $1000!

 

Our last cruise, the S&S bill was $200... but then again, we were in Alaska.

We usually average about $200 a day so $1400 for a 7 day cruise. We usually have one night in the specialty restaurant; some casino,some bingo, always wine with dinner, a few drinks of the day and maybe some spa (but not always). None of the expenses are for excursions as we usually book that ourselves. I guess the fact that we smuggle some booze on board (for drinking on the balcony) hasn't hurt the company's bottom line.

Mine was $300 for a 4 day cruise...$150 of this was alcohol, $80 was tips and the rest was misc (elegant night pic, earrings from the shops, espresso, etc)...

[A&Jfamily]

We cruise with 5 people - usually 7 days. So, there is $350 off the top for tips. When you throw in Supper Club for 2, and drinks we are usually running about $600???

[tiggerman101]

We don't drink and rarely do photos. I always prepay tips as well. We do love the supper club and will go a couple times if the ship we are on has one. If we ever do a Cruise Line shore excursion then it is also paid ahead of time.I love the coffee shop and my partner will get a soda card depending on the cruise. Our sail and sign is usually a couple hundred. I think our lowest was $55 on the Victory.

$100/day on average (for two people), although too much of that is on photos:rolleyes:

The rest is booze:p

My fiance, our 9 month old son & myself were on the Dream this past June and our S&S bill was around 1,200.. fiance did a little bit gambling using his S&S card, I did some bingo & cash craze pull tabs, lots of drinks, and some light shopping. I didn't think it was a terrible bill.. especially since I won the 1,500 Cash Craze so that took care of the bill ;)

[Senoj84]

First couple of cruises have always been less than $350 for just me. My last cruise was a little over $500.

[mali06]

I am budgeting for our cruise in January on the Legend . . . 140.00 tips (not counting the cash we leave extra), 150.00 Chef's Table plus 30.00 tip, 2 excursions already chosen 228.00, 100.00 for drinks (we're not big drinkers), 100.00 for a few souvenirs like ship shirts, round up to a total of 800.00 just in case and there ya go!

[lillian marie]

Our S&S bill has been higher than $500 when we've booked several tours and bought art.

[elcuchio24]

We prepay for any escursions we do, so we usually have a pretty low S&S balence. Usually between 300-400 on a 7 nighter. Our last cruise we had $440 OBC from ES claims, on the morning of debarkation got our S&S print out and a check for $65 for the left over OBC!! How sweet OBC is......:D

[elcuchio24]

Last cruise we were on I hear these two dudes talking next door as I'm getting my S&S bill/check from the little mail box hanger on the Liberty.---“I really didn’t realize how much those drinks were, I just ordered them without looking. Oh man, they really add up don’t they?” “Yes, its just too easy to hand them that card. Oh man………..oooh man.”

[grumpyjr88]

My first cruise, our final S&S statement was about $150. We brought a lot of our alcohol (I think the policy was different back then?) The cruise I just went on, our S&S was about $1300 - $250 at spa, $100 on an excursion, $300 on gift shop, remainder on DODs (yikes!)

 

We were prepared and had been depositing money into a 'Cruise Fund' for about a year though. :)

Woah! How'd you do that? LOL

 

That's like getting zero points when you're playing spades. Or is is hearts??

[dstone]

We have cruised many times and we prepay the tips and book excursions online ourselves. The last 4 cruises we had a $0 balance! We have used onboard credit for the few px we get and a cruise for me.
