The Tipping Detail Most First Time Cruisers Miss

Here's a tipping detail that catches a lot of first time cruisers off guard. Your daily automatic gratuity isn't actually a flat rate across the whole ship. Book a suite, and your per day gratuity charge is often a few dollars higher than someone staying in an interior or balcony cabin. The thinking is that suite guests tend to use more service, more room service, more attention from staff, so the gratuity scales along with it. It's one of those things that rarely comes up until the final bill shows up in your cabin on the last night, and by then it's a little late to plan around it. Knowing ahead of time just makes budgeting for the cruise a whole lot easier. Did you know your cabin category could change your daily gratuity rate? #CruiseTips #CruiseBudget #CruiseTipsNTricks #CruiseGratuities #FirstTimeCruiser
