Cruise ship in water
As much as I love cruising, I enjoy the experiences in port even more.
  • As a frequent cruiser, I'm selective about how much I spend on onboard extras.
  • But some things, like comfort, cute coffees, and crafted cocktails, warrant a splurge.
  • As a parent, I'm also willing to pay up for some "me time" while at sea.

Cruises are so back, and they're only predicted to get more popular.

The global cruise market, valued at $7.25 billion in 2021, is expected to grow about 11% from 2022 to 2028, according to Forbes.
