On Cruise Lines it is customary to offer tips to staff members for their good service and personal attention.
You can pre-pay your service charge as part of your booking and this will be shared among Dining Services Staff, Stateroom Attendants and Other Housekeeping Services Personnel.
Alternatively, you may pay in cash at the end of your cruise directly to the crew members you wish to recognise for their service.
Gratuities are discretionary so in the unlikely event that a guest on board being charged the daily automatic gratuity does not receive satisfactory service, guests may request to modify (increase, decrease or remove) the daily amount by visiting Guest Services during their cruise.

The benefits of pre-paying service charges:
• When you pre-pay the gratuities as part of your booking, it is normally cheaper than paying once onboard .
• Pre-paying service charges gives you peace of mind making the process seamless for when you get on board.
• Avoid fluctuating exchange rates onboard
• Helps you plan your holiday budget in advance
• Gratuities are payable in US dollars (some ships in Euro) on board. If you pre-pay you don’t have to take extra cash on board or any additional foreign currency.
• Some Cruise Lines no longer provide the pre-paid gratuity vouchers for guests to give to the appropriate crew member on the last evening of the cruise. Please be assured though that the crew will be aware that you have paid your gratuities.
• A 15 % gratuity will automatically be added to your bar bill or wine bill when you are served and for services in the Spa or Salon
