What does a “comped” cruise really cost?

A complimentary cabin can still come with taxes, gratuities, travel, lodging, onboard extras, and a casino budget. Put the whole trip on one screen before the headline becomes a booking.

THE NUMBER THAT MATTERS

“Comped” describes the cabin offer, not the complete voyage.

Start with money you expect to pay even if you never enter the casino. Then add a fixed casino entertainment limit as a separate line. The result is a planning total, not a prediction of wins, losses, or future offers.
