cruisinmems Posted March 7, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Will someone please tell me the daily gratuity charge and can it be pre-paid? Thank You! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted March 7, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) It's $12.50 pppd on cruises when the onboard currency is US$ and €10 pppd when the currency onboard is Euros. Yes ... they can be pre-paid. However, if you're interested in accumulating points in Voyagers Club, it's best to wait 'til onboard and have them added to your onboard account. You get 100 points for very €/$150 spent onboard (as you do for any spend prior to embarking) - but you cannot combine the 2, so if you're short of any multiple of that amount on either account, you'll lose the value of that spend towards points.

Até Posted March 7, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Beamafar's explanation is easiest. Where is FAE (bottom of second image)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted March 7, 2019 #5 Share Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) Far East Asia? (though that would be FEA 🙄) Edited March 7, 2019 by Beamafar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Até Posted March 8, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 8, 2019 It's also the airport code for Faroe Islands... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted March 8, 2019 #7 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I reckon it has to relate to the Grand Voyages to and from China/Japan which are very recent additions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(though that would be FEA 🙄) I'm with you, in that I think it's a typo, and should be Far East and Asia (FEA). It doesn't appear in the chart in the latest UK brochure Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted March 8, 2019 #9 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Maybe it's not a 'typo' and has more to do with the translation from Italian to English? 🤔 Pete ... the latest brochure is lacking in a couple of areas that have been highlighted, now. There's your one, here; then there's the fact that it's still showing the old drinks packages (🙄). Also, there was no mention of the change in policy to make the DSC mandatory (though, because that's been rescinded, is now a moot point).
