Gratuities (in cash) are personally distributed by passengers on the last night of the cruise. Suggested guidelines are per person, per day: waiter $3.50; assistant waiter $2; maitre d' 75; cabin steward $3.50; cabin attendant in ConciergeClass $4; assistant chief housekeeper 75; and, for suite occupants only, butler $3.50. Passengers may adjust the amount based on the level of service experienced. For children under 12 who accompany adults as third or fourth occupants of a stateroom, half the suggested amount is recommended. An automatic gratuity of 15% is added to all beverage tabs.
