What’s Included

  • Cruise fare
  • Taxes and port fees
  • Multiple complimentary dining venues
  • Complimentary beverages:
    • Water, coffee, tea, lemonade
    • Milk and chocolate milk
    • Select breakfast juices
  • Complimentary onboard entertainment and shows

Gratuities (Additional Cost)

Daily gratuities are not included in your cruise fare and will be automatically applied to your onboard account by Royal Caribbean. These charges are set by the cruise line and are part of the overall service structure onboard.

Current recommended gratuity rates (subject to change by the cruise line):
$18.50 per person, per day for standard staterooms
$21.00 per person, per day for suites

Guests have the option to prepay gratuities in advance, which we recommend if you prefer to have everything handled prior to travel. Gratuities should be prepaid at least three weeks prior to sailing, as Royal Caribbean closes the option to prepay once the sailing is finalized. This closure timing can vary and may occur anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks before departure.

Prepaying your gratuities also provides added convenience, as it eliminates the need to carry cash or tip individual crew members throughout your cruise, allowing you to simply relax and enjoy your vacation.

Gratuities can also be adjusted onboard at Guest Services if requested.

  • Travel insurance
  • Airfare
  • Pre- or post-cruise hotel accommodations
  • Transportation to and from the cruise port
  • Shore excursions
  • Beverage packages (soda or alcohol)
