Mriman59 Posted September 7, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 7, 2018 My wife and I were looking to purchase the refreshment beverage package, right now $18.00 per person, for our seven day cruise. The total came to almost $300.00, with a $45.00 service fee. Is this to cover tips or is this another service fee for the cruise line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your drinks onboard stay under the package limit, you won't have to pay any more gratuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
