Hi. Cute video. We have met many people on cruises who have gotten “free cruises”. Usually they get an inside cabin and pay taxes and pay for an upgrade. Many then add in a drink package which is costly. The honest ones admit.. yes the cruise is free, but if you add up how much they usually lose , they paid for that “free” cruise! We have actually gotten many really free cruises. In the US , you can sign up for credit cards and if you spend $3000 to $5000 in a 3 or 4 month period you get a ton of points. We use Chase credit cards and charge all our expenses on the cards. The trick is to pay the cards when payments are due in full, and never pay interest. I would guess we have used the points to get around 10 free cruises over the last 8 or so years!

Oh wow! Great tips! Yes, I guess it would add up in the end, but I would still like to save that base cost. Thanks for your comment!
