Can I Pre-Pay Gratuities Before My Cruise?
Gratuities or service charges — are a standard part of cruising, covering the hardworking staff who ensure your experience on board is smooth and enjoyable.
Most cruise lines offer the option to pre-pay these gratuities before you set sail, allowing you to budget more easily and avoid surprises at the end of your trip.
Pre-paying can also streamline your check-out process and sometimes even lock in the current rate in case of future increases.
While tipping policies vary by cruise line, choosing to handle gratuities in advance adds one more layer of convenience to your cruise planning.
