soremekun Posted January 28, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Did you book your cruise this year or last year? If last year, you can take advantage of the lower rate if you add prepaid gratuities before your sale date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justmekaren918 Posted January 28, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I travel as solo, and since I have to pay these rates my normal well paid amounts for specific people may just go through the floor, and no real extra at bars on daily basis will stop, and this will be my stand, because clearly it has been paid via these larger fees. I mention this to a senior officer when I got charged for a drink for a piano player at schooner. Stop with this diming stuff, because your staff will be the ones hurt, but once again Royal doesn't care about there long standing customers. I have always chosen to pay the few a great tip that have help to make my trip awesome. I know I have had several schooner & crown vik teams have gone way beyond to make my cruise amazing, and were well paid. Of course my attendants. I am tired off paying people that really didn't have anything to do in my trip. JMO Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
