Gratuities/Beverage Service Charges

Our crew works very hard to ensure that every aspect of your voyage meets the highest standards. That includes crew members who serve you directly, such as wait staff, beverage servers, housekeepers and many others who support their efforts, whom you may never meet. To ensure that the efforts of all our crew members are recognized and rewarded, gratuities of $19.50 per guest will be automatically added to your onboard account on a daily basis. If our service exceeds or fails to meet your expectations, you are free to adjust that amount at the end of the cruise by visiting the Purser's Office.
