Have you looked into flying into Fort Lauderdale? It is still cheaper than Miami and closer then West Palm Beach. All the low cost carriers fly into FLL and it is 30-40 min ride with no traffic from FLL to Miami. I wouldn't personally fly to PBF for a cruise from Miami but that's just me.

@YOLO Thank you! So looking forward to cruising again!

Hi All, I apologize in advance if this is a topic being repeated. I haven't been on a Royal cruise for a few years and I am excited to get back on the open seas in February. I just purchased a refreshment package and was automatically charged 18% gratuity which is totally fine. I am not a big drinker so the deluxe package is not worth it for me but plan on occasionally buying a cocktail. Does anyone know if the gratuity they automatically added to my refreshment package go towards alcohol? I mean clearly I know I have to pay for the drink but want to make sure I tip accordingly if it will already be added. I also prepaid my other gratuity upon booking. Thanks! -
