Average Amount of Spending Cash

[sprint180]

I usually bring about $200 in bills of various denominations for a week-long cruise. If I'm going on a non-cruiseline excursion that needs to be paid in cash, I add that on top. I find that's plenty for miscellaneous small souvenirs, maybe a restaurant at a port, and any various small-bill tipping I'm inclined to do (room service or whatever). Anything that's an unexpected big expense would go on a credit card. I can see if someone is really into souvenir shopping or likes to drink a lot while at the ports may find that inadequate, so use your judgment accordingly.

A little off topic, but using a CC's as far as cruising makes things a bit easier. No need to post cash at check-in.

A word from someone who went through that nightmare. Get ONE (1) credit card, linked to your bank so that it's free. Use it twice a year and pay off in full. Comes in very handy in case of emergency and helps credit score

 

Using cash does make it more difficult, but that’s part of the point ;)
