One savvy passenger shared their top tip to avoid spending too much money on drinks on a cruise.
They said: “When I planned on drinking a lot on a cruise, I would go around and find my favourite bar the first night, then find the happiest and most entertaining bar manager.
“They are often dressed in a different shirt than the bartender who may switch bars each night.
“I would then tip big the first night $20 (£14.69) telling them I plan to visit them and hope they remember my face.
“I would then tip about $5 (£3.67) per night. Every night when I got to the bar they would see me and have my drink ready by the time I sat down.
