The Advantage Of The All Inclusive Cruise Trip
No extra cost - this statement is music to the ears of most travelers. No extra cost. That is exactly what you are offered when you take up an all inclusive cruise.

No worry about money - you might carry with you a limited amount of money and never worry about a thing - because you have already paid for all the things that are offered during the cruise.
You would money only for the shopping you would be likely to do on the excursions offered in different ports.
Carefree holiday - you want to have a go at all the entertainment offered on board - guess what you can because everything has already been paid for. You have two curious teenagers who would have ordered half of the menu - no worry here.
The menu is fixed and the expenses in control. No embarrassing looks at the price of the food, no worries, no persuasive discussions to 'try something else'.
The Disadvantages Of The All Inclusive Cruise Trip
The menu is fixed - you can change a few things here and there, but normally the man is fixed unless on the days where you are offered buffet meals. This is not really something to complain about - but sometimes it makes you want more.
Snacks are not paid for - if you have children accompanying you this could be a major set back because they eat less during meals and more as snacks; and snacks you would have to pay for.
Casinos are included - one of the major attractions on board of any cruiser is the casino and that is not included in your all-inclusive ticket.
Overall, it looks like the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Don't you feel so?
