Service Charges
What service charges should I expect to see on board?
A fixed service charge* will be added to your onboard spending account in the amount of $20.00** per person per day for Interiors, Ocean Views, Balconies, and Club Balcony Suites and $25.00** per person per day for Suites.
The reason there's a fixed service charge is an important one: the ship crew is encouraged to work together as a team. Staff members including restaurant staff, stateroom stewards and behind-the-scenes support staff are compensated by a combination of salary and incentive programs that your service charge supports.
Additionally, a 20% auto-service charge will be applied for some other onboard services and experiences. These include, but are not limited to, beverage purchases (alcohol and non-alcoholic as well as ALL beverage packages), specialty dining packages, alcohol tastings, and spa and salon services.
While you are welcome to extend additional gratuities at your discretion, these minimum service charges are agreed to be paid by you upon booking your stateroom. Should your concerns not be met with satisfaction you can adjust the charges.
*These charges are acknowledged by each reservation’s lead passenger and agreed upon at the time of booking verbally via phone or in the online booking process by checking a box before being able to move forward with their reservation.
**Prices subject to change.
