Hello, i am booked on a cruise and just learned about the 14.50 per person per day auto gratuity. I’m asking you take and opinion o. How a flat rate gratuity exist ? Gratuity is based on costs accrued before taxes and fees. For easy numbers the tax and fees equate to roughly a little for than 40 percent of the total cost are taxes and fees, leaving 60 dollars of services. Am I thinking correctly that 18 percent or 20 percent should be based on pre tax and fees. On the flip side if your rate to cruise is very high and 14.50 is not enough to cover 18 percent of the costs before taxes and fees you should leave more. my total trip for two is costing roughly 700 for 6 nights - 40% taxes and fees equals 280 700-280= 420 20 percent of 420 is 84 dollars RC is auto adding 174 at 14.50 per two guests a day I find it incredibly wrong for me to have to wait at guest services to correct the amount that should be left
