ddvgww Posted January 16 #1 Share Posted January 16 Have a friend coming on a NZ cruise with us soon on Ovation We won't have a drinks bill as we get 4 free daily drinks being Diamond members. Our friend is trying to work out whether or not to buy the drinks package. I know cocktails are around $15 each USD. Do you pay an additional 18% on every drink you order or is that only applied if sailing from America? Thanks to anyone who can clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't just apply to sailing from America - but, the drink prices when sailing from Australia do include the gratuity in the menu price.. i.e. the $15ish cocktails has the 18% included. For comparison, the drinks package also has the 18% included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you don’t have to pay the gratuities for drinks on cruises from Australia on Royal. The only exception maybe Serenade on her World Cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted January 16 #5 Share Posted January 16 The gratuities will already be included in the price for your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
