jhwells1994 Posted October 18, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2012 This will be our first cruise, and I am confused about the gratuities. It says so much per day, but are we supposed to count the days or nights? We are on a 4 night Bahama on RCCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted October 18, 2012 #2 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I would post this on the RCI Cruise Line Board. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted October 18, 2012 #3 Share Posted October 18, 2012 You will find a wealth of information on the RCI board but to quickly answer your question, cruises are counted in nights and therefore, so are the gratuities starting with your first night you sleep onboard. Have fun. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayenu Posted October 18, 2012 #4 Share Posted October 18, 2012 This will be our first cruise, and I am confused about the gratuities. It says so much per day, but are we supposed to count the days or nights? We are on a 4 night Bahama on RCCL. Upon check-in they start your account with the cruise. Tips are added daily to it. You don't count anything, just check the statement for accuracy on the last day. (and it will be per night) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted October 18, 2012 #6 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Nights.....your departure day isn't really "a day"...they only want you off the ship the last morning. Tipping is traditionally done on the last evening, if you are tipping in cash. Most lines simply add the appropriate tip to your bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted October 18, 2012 #8 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Nights 4 nights -- 4 nights of tips per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky-elpaso Posted October 18, 2012 #9 Share Posted October 18, 2012 On Royal Caribbean tips are not added automatically. You can pre-pay them before you go (mandatory if you have any-time dining rather than fixed) or have them added to your on-board account (you'll get a form for that about midway during your cruise). Easiest way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TracieABD Posted October 18, 2012 #10 Share Posted October 18, 2012 It is per night.:) Enjoy your first cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the trouble with posting a question in this vague "Ask a Cruise Question" forum rather than on the specific board. As sparky-elpaso mentioned, RCI does NOT add gratuities automatically, no way. I hope OP realizes this or s/he may be in for a surprise and some embarrassment. .
