How much do you typically budget for each day?

I was wondering how much the average cruiser spends on a cruise each day. Some probably not as much as others ... but I think we would be surprised to see how much others do spend or plan to spend on a cruise.

On a typical sea day we only spend money on a couple of drinks in the evening, but then add a Coke card to the mix and MAYBE a massage - goodness in no time at all the bill soars. We try not to buy pictures onboard but have been tempted every once in a while when one or two of our pictures are pretty decent. Oh heck yes then there's the Specialty Restaurant ......

We really don't ever think of budgetting during a cruise. We typically spend abou $75-100 a day. This include excursions.

WE DON'T REALLY BUDGET FOR OUR CRUISES, BUT WE WATCH OUR MONEY VERY CLOSE WHILE ON THE SHIP AND ON SHORE

Nice .... wish I didn't hae to budget either - I would definitely be in the spa every day in that case

We don't really budget either. We don't go crazy but if we see something we like, we buy it.

Never had one, never will, we are on vacation.

When the smoke clears, we sit and decide who was the worst spender and laugh about it.

No real budget here either. Maybe just the gambling part so we don't lose too much sometimes

We shoot for $100 per day not counting the casino. It's getting harder anymore with the price of drinks, photos, specialty restaurants, etc. We've cut back on playing the slots as we used to bring $100 per day to lose. :laugh:

We don't usually budget, either. We don't get to go that often so we don't worry about spending...we do know not to go crazy...LOL We do go to the specialty restaurant, and I usually like to get a few pictures, pick up a few souviners from the ship, drinks, tours, gambling. With the gambling money I really watch it, hubby usually wins so he spends more...LOL
