What is Royal Caribbean's service gratuities (tips) price and policy?
Guests who choose not to prepay gratuities at the time of booking will have a service gratuity automatically applied to their respective SeaPass® account on a daily basis, in the amount shown below.*
- $21.00 USD per guest, per day will be applied to guests sailing on any suite; and
- $18.50 USD per guest, per day will be applied to guests sailing on all other stateroom categories.
Consistent with standard hospitality practice, gratuities collected are pooled and applied toward the compensation of onboard crew members, including dining, bar and culinary services staff, stateroom attendants, hotel services teams, and others who work to enhance the overall cruise experience.
Additionally, an 18% gratuity will be automatically added to all pre-cruise and onboard purchases of beverages and beverage packages, specialty dining and specialty dining packages, room service and mini bar purchases. A 20% gratuity will be automatically added to all pre-cruise and onboard spa and salon purchases.
Gratuities may be modified at the guest’s sole discretion by visiting the Guest Relations desk onboard at any time prior to the morning of disembarkation. Modifications cannot be made once the sailing has ended. Guests sailing in group reservations should check with their group leader or travel agent for additional details.
*Not applicable wherever expressly prohibited by law.
