I Tracked Every Dollar on a Mexico Cruise šŸ‡²šŸ‡½ What I Spend in a Week

I tracked every dollar on a 6-day cruise to Mexico — from lash appointments in, LA to teppanyaki dinners on the ship to the $50 I lost at the casino in Cabo. We, flew to LA, spent 2 days in Koreatown while I recovered from a cold, boarded the cruise at Long Beach, survived a day in Cabo San Lucas, and made it back home with a sunburn, a corrupted SD card scare, and a $1,479 total. Whether you're planning your own cruise to Mexico or just love chaotic travel content, this is the budget breakdown I wish I had before booking.
