Exactly what I was looking for -thank you! I've booked a cruise for November, and the cruise line offers a hotel with transfers (The Hilton) for $780 Canadian! I'm sure I can do better than that!
You definitely can! I hate how cruisers get sucked into overpaying for hotels because of their shuttle service offerings. Just book the best hotel for you (at the best price) and use ride share, public transport, or private transfer! Be sure to price out transfers here, as they sometimes have the best rate, especially for 4+ people: gettransfer.tp.st/TbXWzzqP
Ha, thankfully I already have the best job ever (I'm an actual professor). I don't know if I'd want to be sponsored by a cruise line since I am VERY honest in my takes (if you follow me on TT or see my shorts on here you'll see that I'm not shy about showcasing the negatives of the cruise lines), and I wouldn't want to feel stifled.
