Cabin upgrades cost about $700-$1,775 for an ocean view, $700-$1,800 for a balcony, or about $1,350-$2,050 for a suite. For example, Royal Caribbean[1] interior rooms cost about $600-$950, depending on sailing date.

What should be included: | - Meals, gym access -- excluding spa services -- and onboard entertainment from swimming pools to musical productions are typically included in the cruise price.
- Most cruise lines berth at King's Wharf[5] in Bermuda.
Additional costs: | - Alcoholic beverages are typically not included. Expect to pay about $5-$7 per beer, $6-$11 per glass of wine, and $4-$10 for cocktails. Bar tabs are left in the stateroom on the last night of the cruise with an added 15% gratuity.
- Tipping may be prepaid at a slight discount. Some cruise lines automatically bill the passenger's account for a set tip amount during the cruise, either daily or on the last day. Otherwise, tipping envelopes are either left in the stateroom during the last evening or may be picked up at the purser's desk. Expect to pay about $10-$12 per person, per day.
- Shore excursions[6] vary by activity level form swimming with dolphins at Dolphin Quest $60 to exploring the Bermuda Museum $10, golfing $80-$150, scooter rental $50 or bicycle rental $5-$55, depending on location.
- Single cruisers typically pay supplemental fees of up to double on most cruise lines for a single-occupancy cabin, or may choose to be assigned to another solo traveler.
Discounts: | - Look for last-minute deals[7] that offer onboard credit that may be used for excursions or bar bills.
- Bermuda's high season[8] is June through August. The low season--May or September--typically offers savings of about $250-$350 per person, double occupancy for an interior cabin. However, the weather may play havoc with the fall itinerary as hurricanes annually swing through the area, which may result in the cruise being canceled or the destination being changed.
