tinsoldier Posted September 18, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Hi We have just made our first booking with RCCL on NOTS from Southampton on 26th May 2017. Got half price on second passenger combined with free deluxe drinks package so all in all we're pretty pleased :) I know that the drinks package doesn't include gratuities and I just wanted to check how this works. Is it the case that when we order drinks we will be charged 18% of the value of the drinks which then goes onto our onboard account? I know this might sound obvious but I just wanted to check as have never had a drinks package before. I presume there is no option to pre-pay gratuities for the drinks package as you can with 'other' gratuities? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen gratuities charged on a per drink basis with any beverage package, unless you order a drink that is more expensive than the package limit.

swoopy2110 Posted September 18, 2016 #4 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Any drink you order with the package already includes the gratuities :) It's only if your drink costs more than the package you'll be charged the difference plus 18% cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
