How much do you spend on your seapass

[tgjr]

This is just a simple question to see how much/little someone manage to use on a 7 day voyage.

 

A few words about what you spend it on will make it easyer for other readers to se what they can save or recon to use.

 

TIPPING to be excluded

[foxesden1]

$300 maybe $400

[jackretired]

Our seapass final, less tips, is never big. But our largest was last cruise when we did not get any soda cards. Bought a lot of soda, one shot of Makers Mark, a manicure, and gifts for people back home.

One of the couples I travel with only spends their gratuities. They buy nothing else.

[CrusingJoe]

We have average $1200 for two on a seven day cruise. Most at the bars, than bingo and one or two meals at a specialty venue.:p

[Lionesss]

Since we pay for the soda package, and all our excursions before we travel our Sea Pass card for three usually totals around 600 dollars.

Ship souveniers,

daughters game tokens.

And gratuities.

We are not big drinkers, and usually have a drink in the conceirnage club before dinner.

Safe travels.

[librayacht]

We reckon to spend $100 per day plus gratuities. This is spread between the bars, wine list, coffee and occasional gift shop purchases.

My wife and I usually average around $200-$300, and that is spent on formal night pictures (wife has to buy each cruise) & mostly at the bar (and that is mostly me):)

DW and I will go about $100 per day but that usually includes a couple of shore excursions. Without those probably $50.

[knotIn1]

150 to 200 not including tips for 2 ppl on a 7 day. Excursions we do on our own. Total for tips, excursions, sea pass......cabs......food on islands as we like to eat local food......close to grand.

 

Last cruise got a great deal.....air.... sea pass....tips.....island money...cruise

close to 2500 in all for 2 people. Came to about 150 a day per person.

[abhb]

We drink maybe 5 drinks each for a 7 day so our bill is usally pretty low about $300.

OK, stup0ic newbie question - what's a sea pass? How does it work?

Deaar Newbie.

Welcome aboard.

Your Sea Pass is your cabin Key as well as your ID, and is used on board for all purchases. No cash transactions occur.

It is easy to run up the total on it, just like a charge card. So check your TV in the room daily so you know how much damage is done. Also to monitor the account so no mistakes are made.

Safe travels.

Games in the casino can, and should, be done in cash.

If a waiter hands/offers you a drink, ask if it is free. 98% it is not and will go on your sea pass card as a charge. This includes OJ as you walk into the WJ for breakfast.

[bplazo]

I never have a balance on my account. I always have some kind of obc that takes care of the tips and a couple drinks for my husband.

[lovemylab]

We try to pre-pay as much stuff as we can, so our seapass card is only our drinks and a few onboard purchases. Usually never more than $400 for the week.

[fungirl28]

I usually prebook all that I can(excursions, soda package, tips etc) and I don't gamble or drink alot. I usually put down $200 cash deposit and I ususlly have money coming back to me on debarkation day.:)

[dutchess43]

Too Much! One cuise I thought our sea pass account reached a novel with all the pages. We have since cut back.

[volleyballmom87]

We spent over $600 this time (for 3 of us). That included a VERY expensive spa trip by my daughter as she was unable to attend a shore excursion with us. It did NOT include our wine package (because we preordered and prepaid).:eek: Also not included was a single thing we did in port as I plan all of that on my own AND I pay tips in cash....

 

So what the heck did we spend $$$$ on???? Casino, internet, bandaids, BINGO, other drinks besides the 10 (yes 10) bottles of wine we drank. BUT we had a GREAT time. :D

[sharonlacey]

Last cruise in May we spent about 2800.00 for a 10 day cruise. But we did have our whole family (2 daughters, husbands and kids). They had their own accounts but drinks at the pool are a killer. Also, we had 1200. in cruise credit (holly molly). We will not spend like that this cruise. It will be just the 2 of us and I will skip the jewlery stores, lol.;)

[Into the Sun]

the most we have ever spent was $1500 (which included the casino as DH was to involved to go get cash from the safe). First cruise 20 years ago we didn't understand sea pass expenses (but learned real quick and cut out the little stuff). Now no more spa, no more trinkets (can be bought in any of the endless stores on the islands), no more going crazy with bringing home "alittle something for everyone", no more Bingo (I would never play at home and it is really expensive). We still gamble, drink moderately, and enjoy ourselves, just don't rack up all the stuff I can and do at home. One thing we always do is PAY OFF THE SEA PASS LAST NIGHT OF CRUISE. Who wants to come home to more bills?

[Capt_BJ]

7 days

 

wine - I buy for the table and prefer a table for 10

 

excursions, if there is SCUBA spousal unit and I are there

 

soda pkg for mrs & a couple of beers during the day, an umbrella drink for Mrs and a shooter or two in the evening plus a fancy coffee after dinner and maybe a Port

 

$2000 average for two of us on a seven day, plus tips.
