Gratuities

[cljohnst]

My friends and I are leaving for a cruise on Brilliance Thursday, Nov. 13. I wanted to prepay my gratuities, but can't find where to do that online. I guess I'll have to do it on ship...

 

I know it's an automatic $12 a day. Curious, for a Thursday-Monday morning sailing, are you charged for four days or five? That is, do you pay gratuity for Monday, when you're only on board for a couple hours before disembarking? Trying to budget how much extra spending I can do on board. :)

 

TIA!

You are charged by the number of nights on board.

For a Nov 13 cruise it might be to late to pre pay gratuities.
