What are cruise gratuities, and do you need to prepay them before you sail? I’m Brittany, a travel agent specializing in Royal Caribbean Cruises, and here’s what you need to know: Gratuities are daily service charges paid per person to support the crew members who make your cruise experience great — including your room steward, dining staff, and housekeeping teams. You can prepay them before your cruise (recommended), or they’ll be charged to your onboard account each day. Remember: food and drink gratuities are separate. The Deluxe Beverage Package already includes those tips, while individual drink purchases automatically add an 18% gratuity. Save yourself the hassle — prepay gratuities so everything’s taken care of before boarding. Follow along with me! Please like, share, and subscribe.
