Are gratuities included in the cruise fare?

No, gratuities are not included in the cruise fare. Princess Cruise Line offers a flexible option called "Princess Plus" where gratuities are automatically included along with premium drinks and Wi-Fi. If you choose to go with the standard cruise fare, gratuities are not covered, allowing you to personally reward the exceptional service received during your voyage. The suggested gratuity amount per guest per day can be found in the information provided onboard, stating different amounts for staterooms and suites. For your convenience, gratuities can be prepaid or added to your onboard account. Additionally, if you avail of any beverage purchases or specialty dining, a 15% gratuity will automatically be added to the total amount.
