What is everyone’s honest thoughts on cruise gratuities?
I feel like cruise gratuities are becoming one of the biggest talking points in cruising lately, especially as prices continue to creep up across the board.💰
I completely understand why they exist and the role they play for crew. I also think a lot of people, especially first-time cruisers, are shocked when they see how quickly the extra costs add up once gratuities, drinks, Wi-Fi and speciality dining all get added on.
Some people prefer prepaying everything upfront so the cruise feels “done” before they board, while others would rather keep that flexibility onboard.
One thing newer cruisers should know is that gratuities are often automatically added throughout your holiday, whether that is daily service charges or extra gratuities added onto drinks and speciality dining onboard, so it is always worth factoring that into your budget before you travel.
Very interested where everyone sits on it now.
Do gratuities bother you, or do you just see them as part of cruising at this point?😊👇
