What is the policy regarding
tips/gratuities?
- How much you choose to tip is
a personal matter and completely at your discretion. For
your convenience, a suggested gratuity in recognition of
outstanding personal service of $11.50 per Guest, per
day, will automatically be added to your shipboard
account. Gratuities are combined in a pool due to the
fact that the ship offers multiple open-seating venues
and you will likely be served by many different staff
members during the course of your stay onboard. An 18%
gratuity is automatically added to all beverage
purchases. Naturally, you may increase or decrease
gratuities at your sole discretion.
- Guests occupying a Penthouse,
Vista or Owners Suite will have an additional $3.50
gratuity per Guest, per day added in recognition of
outstanding Butler Service.
