Just booked a cruise with MSC and now I'm having buyers remorse. AFTER I booked a suite on MSC world, I realise that I have to pay $1100 for my kids to have access to sodas... me to get a couple of drinks per day... pay for food, any offshore excursion is SUPER expensive and all the cool ones are fully booked. Anything on board is ridiculously pricey... Was told that there's a free buffet and free diner at specific times (5:30 PM)...
Help me out, can I even do anything cool for free? It seems like after paying 4500 for the suite I need 900 for wifi, 1100 for drinks and for the kids to play is another 700... All I keep hearing is spa is free... It's a cruise... I wanna get to my destination, get off the ship and go explore and enjoy the beach free since I paid 4500...
It's my 1st time cruising, I think I may be getting it all wrong... are the packages worth it?

A driver just called me cheap for ordering 180 worth of food and only tip $20. He said I should tip 20% at least.

The way I saw it, the restaurant is 2.7 miles and 10 minutes from my house. All he has to do is pick up my food, put in his car and drive 10 minutes to me. If my neighbor bought more food from a fast food and it cost him 50 that would be $10 for the same work. I thought I was being nice because in a restaurant, I tip the server because they bring my water, order my food, check on me, help me decide what to eat... in the case of Uber eats, u just pick up some food and drop it in front of my door. The amt I pay shouldn't be based on what I pay but on the distance u had to drive, the weather condition, time of the day (traffic time, late night...)
