Gratuities - First Day and Final Day

[IECalCruiser]

Yes that is a lot of extra money....double tips on embarkation and disembarkation....to me it should be one or the other.....:cool:

We don't have access to the OP's statement, but no one else posting has been charged for embarkation and disembarkation days. I have been on 20 Princess cruises including one last December and have only been charged gratuity for the number of cruise nights. I can only assume that the OP read their statement incorrectly and if not they should request a refund from Princess as the charge of eight gratuities on a seven night cruise is incorrect.

IMHO, I don't even look at this on my statement. If they charged an extra day so be it. The crew works very hard, and after spending $2000.00+ on a cruise, I can't worry about $24.00 for 2.

Unless you just don't care about money at all you really should check your statement. We find mistakes all the time on our statement.

If you notice, when you take a ten day cruise you are actually on the boat for 11 days with the first and the last day. You get charged for ten days.
