lovescarborough Posted July 23, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Having just booked a dining package for our next cruise in January, I am a bit confused about the gratuity. Is this included in the package price ? It was when we cruised in January but I’m not sure whether it is now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would show the cost of package + gratuity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the small print it mentions drinks and extras such as chefs table drinks and gratuities aren’t included but there is no mention of gratuity on my invoice or indeed how much . Have things changed since we last used a package in January this year ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseCrew123 Posted July 24, 2023 #4 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) Screen shots would help but normally the price includes the gratuity Edited July 24, 2023 by CruiseCrew123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettyCruiser Posted July 25, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 25, 2023 In the UK they probably include gratuities in the price. In the US the gratuities are added as an extra line item before payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, the UK prices are higher because they include the gratuity as it is not legal here, to display a price then add a mandatory gratuity at the point of payment.
