A video by the Cuban content creator Jorge Drake (@jorge_drake1992 on TikTok) has sparked a wave of reactions after he shared his "trick" for saving money on excursions during cruises.

The Cuban's recommendation is to prepare snacks at the cruise buffet before disembarking to avoid spending money on food during the excursions.

"I always make myself some sandwiches for breakfast and take them in my backpack for the outing," says the young man in the clip, which has already accumulated thousands of views.

Some users have praised the idea of Jorge Drake as a useful strategy for budget-conscious travelers, while others have questioned the legality and ethics of the advice.

Several cruise passengers claim that, on many ships, it is expressly forbidden to take food from the buffet, both for hygiene reasons and health regulations, which makes this "savings" a potential violation.

The video has sparked a debate on social media. How far would you be willing to go to save a few dollars during your vacation? While some see it as a clever tactic, others believe it crosses the line of what is acceptable. What about you, would you do it?
