Creator's Key Takeaways

I did not know about gratuities until I got on the ship.

We got on board the ship and we were surp- I was surprised when every day we got the gratuities added to our shipboard account.

Gratuities, uh also called crew appreciation these days, are the added charge that the ship charges you, the cruise line charges you for every day of the cruise, per person.

I personally wish the cruise lines would roll that right in to the cruise fare.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Understand what cruise gratuities are before you set sail.
Budget for the daily per-person gratuity charge.
Know that gratuities cover all crew members who impact your stay.
