You might even be able to enjoy a cruise on as little as $100 a day.We consulted with Colleen McDaniel, senior executive editor of Cruise Critic, to get even more money-saving tips. Read on to discover how you can enjoy cruises for cheap.Purchase an all-inclusive packageAn easy way to rack up(增加) a high cruise bill is by taking advantage of every extra that a cruise line has to offer without knowing which extras are included in the package youve purchased. If youre worried about spending too much on activities, beverages, food and acmodations, book an all-inclusive package, which could help you save money in the long run.Seek unadvertised discountsThough they dont always advertise them, many cruise lines offer special prices for certain groups. Royal Caribbean, for example, extends special pricing on all cruises to airline employees.Call the cruise line to find out if it offers discounts for any groups, employers or organizations you are affiliated with, and you could save up to S100 or more a day on your booking.Use an app to track pricesIf you can be flexible with your travel dates, you might be able to get a great deal on a cruise by using an app like Cruise Critic.

If the price on your cruise drops after youve booked, you can contact the cruise line to negotiate the difference. The cruise line might refund you in the form of an onboard credit that you can use for cruise activities and other amenities during your trip.Look for local dealsMany cruise-goers extend their vacations by booking stays and planning activities in port cities before and after the cruise.

When my parents gave me this name, they created an important part of my identity that will be part of me forever.My first name, Lily, was inspired by a story my mom heard a long time ago. Some people wanted to get rid of their tiger lilies, so they dug a deep, deep hole and threw the tiger lily plants in. For years, they felt they had succeeded in killing the lilies. But one spring, strong, green stocks rose to the surface. My mom named me Lily because she hoped for a beautiful daughter, who would also be strong and resilient, just like those orange blossomed lily plants.My middle name is Myunghi. My mom, who is of Korean heritage, wanted to honor our Asian roots. The middle name means clear-eyed girl in Korean. My parents chose it because they believe life is difficult, and they hoped being clear-eyed would help me find my way in the world.However, in English, Myunghi loses its beautiful meaning. It bees the hesitation on peoples faces as they stumble over its mere two syllables(音节). It bees the surprised expressions of classmates who have never heard a name anything like it before It bees a blushing(脸红的)little girl, embarrassed by her own name, a name that her parents put so much thought into.When I was younger, I hid my middle name, pre tending it didnt exist. Looking back, I pity the girl who was too ashamed to reveal her full name to anyone.My grandparents were raised in Korea, where parents take great care choosing a name with a meaning that will help their child through life. My grandparents were born into the Japanese Occupation of Korea and assigned Japanese names, which stripped(剥夺) away their cultural identities bit by bit.Ive grown to love and appreciate my name. I no longer hide my name, but instead, proudly announce it, since my grandparents could not.
