A former cruise director walks through 15 things already included on your cruise, and the exact sentence to say at guest services, the front desk or your cabin steward to claim each one. The first half is what's free on almost every ship: drinking water, continental room-service breakfast, sit-down breakfast in the main dining room, the fitness centre, fresh fruit to your cabin, dietary and allergy cooking at no charge, and clearing the minibar sensor shelf before it charges you. The second half changes by line — self-service laundry on Princess and Carnival but not Holland America, gratuities included on Regent, Oceania and Virgin Voyages while Viking adds twenty dollars per guest per day, wifi built into Viking and Oceania fares, unclaimed specialty dining credits, Celebrity AquaClass thermal suite access, and the onboard account review that recovers whatever the rest cost you. For cruise travellers over 60 sailing Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Princess, Celebrity, Holland America, Viking, Oceania and MSC. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 What you already paid for 00:37 The Water You Bought Twice 01:40 The Breakfast that Comes to Your Door 02:34 The Sit-down Meal Nobody Walks Into 03:27 The Gym You Think is Part of the Spa 04:25 The Fruit Plate Nobody Orders 05:27 The Kitchen that Cooks Around You 06:33 The Ice, the Fridge, and the Things in It 07:30 Free printable checklist 07:53 The Laundry Room that Isn't on Every Ship 08:57 The Tips You May Have Already Paid 10:03 The Wifi You Might Already Own 11:08 The Dinner You've Already Been Given 12:09 The Thermal Suite that Came with the Cabin 13:04 The Seats You Don't Need to Reserve 14:00 The Quiet Rooms Nobody Finds 15:01 The Last Morning Bill Nobody Reads 16:05 Pick three, not fifteen 📱 CONNECT WITH CRUISER PRO YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CruiserPro Passport Pro (air travel): https://www.youtube.com/@PassportProfficial RV Travel Pro (RV & road trips): https://www.youtube.com/@RVTravelPro Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PassportProTRAVEL/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/passportpro_travel/ X: https://x.com/passport_pros Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/passportprotravel/ Email: support@passportprotravel.com Disclaimer: cruise line inclusions, fares and policies change and vary by ship and sailing date.
