Sorry to ask what is likely a naive question, but with the "free drinks package" (Simply More), do they add required tipping to your bill?
I went on another cruise last year that offered a "free drinks bonus package", but when I read the fine print they planned to add some notable daily amount ($14 or $18 or something) to the bill to cover "required gratuities". I'm not an alcohol drinker, so I wouldn't use any of the benefits and would have been charged for the tipping as if I was getting multiple drinks per day.. Fortunately, that cruise line (Norwegian, I think), let me opt out of not-so-free free bonus.
I don't see any language about required tipping with the Oceania "simply more" beverage package, but I was planning to purchase a cruise and their site doesn't allow me to decline the package. Can anyone enlighten me about whether there are hidden charges for tips?
I recognize that they add to the bill for regular tips, by the way. My question is specific to the beverage program.
