Generally, yes, you pay per person on a cruise. Cruise lines typically charge per person for the cruise fare, which includes accommodation, meals, and onboard entertainment.
Here's how cruise pricing usually works:
- Per-Person Rates: Most cruise lines offer per-person pricing based on the type of cabin you choose, the length of the cruise, and the time of year.
- Double Occupancy: Prices are often quoted for double occupancy, meaning the cost is for two people sharing a cabin.
- Single Supplement: If you're traveling alone, you'll typically pay a single supplement, which is an additional charge to cover the cost of the cabin being occupied by only one person.
However, there are some exceptions to this rule:
- Family Packages: Some cruise lines offer family packages that provide discounts for children traveling with adults.
- Group Cruises: If you're traveling with a large group, you may be able to negotiate special rates or group discounts.
It's important to note that the cruise fare typically doesn't include extras like:
- Shore Excursions: These are tours and activities offered in port.
- Drinks: Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages may be purchased separately.
- Gratuities: Tips for service staff are often added to your final bill.
To get the most accurate pricing information, it's always best to check the cruise line's website or contact a travel agent.
