Royal Caribbean currently charges a daily service gratuity of $18.50 per guest, per day for standard staterooms and $21.00 per guest, per day for suites. If gratuities are not prepaid before sailing, they are automatically added to your SeaPass® account each day.
You do not need to tip each crew member individually. Royal Caribbean pools the daily gratuities and distributes them among the onboard team members who help make your cruise experience special, including dining, culinary, stateroom, and hotel service staff.
Additional gratuities are automatically added to certain purchases, including 18% on beverages, beverage packages, specialty dining, room service, and minibar purchases, and 20% on spa and salon services. Additional personal tipping for exceptional service is always optional.
Please note: Megan & Chance’s group rates do not include gratuities. Because their sailing is in November 2027, Royal Caribbean’s gratuity rates are subject to change before departure, so guests should confirm the current amount closer to sailing.
