Actual costs of a cruise my family and I went on just to give you an idea of how the money soon mounts up

Travelscope Casablanca, canaries and Madeira cruise 2006

12 days                £699  x 4             = £2796.00    

Shore Excursions - although these were reasonably price ranging from £12 to £38 pp it soon adds up

Cost of shore excursions                   = £696.00    

Onboard Account, this includes drinks, photographs, and items purchased in the shop

Cost of onboard account                   = £495.00  

Tips and Gratuities                           = £130.00    

Other bits and pieces - includes taxi fares, spending money, money spent  in casino

Other Costs                                     = £475.00

Total cost                                        = £4592.00

As you can see it soon adds up and I’ve not included money spent on all those new clothes so this would push it well over £5000.00
