We Tried Cruising With ALL the Extras: Here’s What’s Worth Paying For
Are cruise packages worth it? After 31 days across three ships, we tested everything from nearly every upgrade to almost nothing. Did spending more actually make the cruise better—or were some cruise extras making the vacation worse? Across Norwegian Aqua, MSC Divina, and Norwegian Joy, we accidentally tested three completely different cruise spending strategies: all-inclusive, à la carte, and bare-bones. We compare specialty dining, drink packages, cruise Wi-Fi, thermal spas, paid activities, excursions, and how itinerary and loyalty benefits can completely change what’s actually worth paying for. 👍 If this video helps you spend smarter on your next cruise, LIKE the video and SUBSCRIBE to Elevate Motor Co Travel for more honest cruise value and buying advice. ⭐️ Get the free Elevate Motor Co Travel newsletter: https://www.elevatemotorco.com/newsletter ============================= 🎬 Watch Next ============= MSC vs Norwegian: Is It Worth Paying More for Newer Ships? https://youtu.be/A8aPDkRXseI We Sailed NCL's Newest Ship at FULL CAPACITY — Honest Aqua Review https://youtu.be/AOWl9T5Er-M Norwegian Aqua Thermal Spa Review https://youtu.be/ukLkeZSoOnE NCL Ship Classes Ranked: Why Newer Isn't Always Better https://youtu.be/q-NklYtRZx0 ⏰ Chapters 0:00 Intro / Context 0:32 All Inclusive 4:43 A la carte 11:42 Bare-bones 16:20 The One We'd Pick This video was not sponsored.
