I am going on my 2nd cruise June 8th. Leaving from Norfolk VA on the Carnival Victory, going to The Bahamas. Last June I went to Bermuda from the same port.

I have a short term memory problem.LOL
I cant seem to remember how much extra money i spent on the ship last year.

My cruise is already paid for but I unfortunately only have a limited amount of money in my bank. I know all food and non alchoholic drinks are covered with my cruise tickets. Dont think that includes sodas, you have to pay for them too.

Can someone refresh my memorie and tell me about how much a beer is is the ship? How much a mixed drink is? I planning on relaxing and doing a little drinking but not go overboard with it (no pun intended.lol)

And how much should i figur in for my tips?

I want to be alble to relax and not stress all my cruise about what im going to spend. Or more specificaly I dont want to be stressing from now until June 8th about extra expenses, I would like to have some idea ASAP, so i can chill or get ready.

All help and advice is GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Thanks

I'm thinking last time I spent around 400.00 extra dollars on board with my bartab and tips, but im not certain, so if its in that range i should be cool. Probably wont drink as much this time because my girlfriends going with me and she doesnt like me to drink.

Thanks in advance!

The tips for wait staff and room steward are automatically put on your sign and sail card on the Victory unless you state otherwise at the pursers desk. Those come to $68.75 per person for seven days. At least that is what is was in January. The tips on drinks runs 15% of the price. I don't drink so I am no help on the cost of the drinks.

I have posted the Carnival bar menu {prices) on page 4 of my webshots... As soon as I have time I will be uploading them here.

Now that Carnival adds the tips to your S&S card, almost a 140.00 will come right off the top.

IMHO...... you might want to pack a couple of six packs of beer and cokes in your checked luggage. This will cut dow your S&S card.
