Thank you for the info everyone. This helps me figure out how much tipping I will be doing.

What is the expectation to tip when you have purchased a drink package? I was charged gratuity when I bought my package. I can't remember if that was the case in 2016 when I last went on a RC cruise. Back then I tipped for every alcohol beverage that I received. Is this necessary?

Thank you so much everyone!

I'm going on my first cruise in two weeks. We'll be on the Adventure of the Seas. I'm doing as much research as possible. When I'm not on excursions I was hoping to get some reading done. But in many of the videos I have seen, loud pop music is played by the pool. Is this all the time? And is there a pretty place to read?
