Cruising Tips & Information

• Spending on board Cruise Ships - For all purchases on board all cruise ships a Credit Card or Cash Deposit must be made in advance.
  
• Gratuities - Can be pre-paid or paid at the end of the cruise.  Allow about $9.75 per guest, per day to cover tips for your Main Waiter, Assistant Waiter, Cabin Steward, MaitreD.  At your option you may tip extra for extra services. If you choose to order wine with dinner be prepared to pay the Wine Steward $10 to open the bottle.  Ordered drinks on board will have a 15% gratuity added automatically.
  
• Excursions - Book excursions through your cruise line.  This guarantees your ship won't sail without you in the event the excursion's return is delayed.
  
• Dining Options - The dining rooms offer gourmet meals with full service wait staff at scheduled times. (NOTE: Your dining room waiters are assigned to your table whether or not you eat in the dining room.  It is customary to tip them even when you do not eat in the dining room.)  There are also other dinning areas for Pizza, Burgers, etc. or when you want a casual snack or meal.
