Gratuities now included as part of AUS/NZ base fare price?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I noticed a new line on our invoice for our latest cruise booking. This seems to have removed the prepay gratuities option when booking a cruise.

"Service Charge's for dining and stateroom attendants are included in your voyage fare, Spa and service fee's are not included. For your convenience an 18% service fee will be added to your onboard folio for spa & bar services"

If my interpretation is correct I think this is a good move by Royal Caribbean as Australia/New Zealand do not have tipping as part of our culture (It is included as part of peoples salary) and it is normal to have everything included in the base cost. This change will only leave taxes as a separate cost at booking time.

This may have changed a while ago but it is the first time I have noticed it.
