7 Cruise Fees You Should Never Pay 2026 —

A cruise is not all-inclusive — and the cruise lines are counting on you not knowing that. In this one I'm walking you through 7 fees you should never pay in 2026, with the real dollar count on screen the whole time. Skip all seven on a 7-day sailing and that's over $385 back in your pocket — money that never made your trip one bit better. This isn't about being cheap. It's about you deciding where your money goes, not them. I made every one of these mistakes myself, so learn it from me. We cover: the bottled water package, the "forgot it" onboard markup, cruise line transfers, paying to board early, the corkage fee, shore excursion markups, and the Wi-Fi trap — plus the ones that are actually worth it.
