Are gratuities included in the ticket price?

No, gratuities are not included in the ticket price. Gratuities for dining and stateroom services are discretionary and can be settled onboard. Cunard Line recommends a per person amount per day for gratuities, which can be modified at your discretion. For guests staying in Grill Suites, the suggested gratuity amount is higher. This provides flexibility for you to reward exceptional service. Charges for gratuities will be added to your onboard account, which can be settled at the end of the voyage. Alternatively, you may prepay gratuities in advance. Cunard Line wants to ensure that the service received meets your satisfaction, and thus gratuities are not automatically included in the ticket price, allowing you to gauge the service level yourself.
