As a Princess newby and 3 star Hal, I am trying to find out how the gratuities are handled on Priness.

 

Help would be appreciated.:)

Auto tip added to your account each day per person.

Its explained on the Princess website in detail.

What most people do is let Princess automatically add them to your bill. There's a daily charge based on the type of cabin you're in. No need to rush around with envelopes on the last evening.

 

Details are on the web-site.

If you go into your cruise personalizer, under "payments and credits" you will see a section for "optional gratuity pre-payment". You can choose to pre pay ahead of time, or allow it to be auto added to your on-board account. Every day they will add it to each person in the cabin. If you have OBC then that can go towards any of your charges, including the daily gratuity.

 

This tip is for your room steward, waiter and assistant waiter.

 

Beverages will have an automatic 15% gratuity added to them as well

HOW DO GRATUITIES WORK?

 

During your cruise, regardless of which Princess ship you choose, you will meet staff who provide you with excellent service. Crew members often rotate to different vessels within the Princess fleet which helps to maintain our high standards on every ship. These dedicated workers reflect our philosophy that all crew on all ships are but one family who share in our success.

To simplify the tipping process for our guests, a discretionary gratuity of $15.50 per guest for suites, $14.50 per guest for mini-suites and club class, and $13.50 per guest for interior, oceanview, and balcony staterooms. This gratuity will be shared amongst those staff who help provide and support your cruise experience, including all waitstaff, stateroom stewards, buffet stewards, and housekeeping staff across the fleet.

For your convenience, this gratuity can be paid online via the cruise personalizer. Alternatively, you may call us at 1-855-500-7690 and reference Special Services item number 0591. Pre-payment is available up to 2 days prior to departure.

A 15% gratuity is added to bar charges, dining room wine accounts, and Lotus Spa® services. This is shared amongst the beverage staff, their support staff and Lotus Spa® personnel.

Casino dealers and youth staff do not share in these gratuities. We know you will find these services onboard exemplary.

Please note gratuities will be deemed undisputed unless a request to modify is received prior to disembarking the ship.

Pretty much the same as HAL(most lines, for that matter)There is an auto gratuity. Just leave it on & you're set. Tip extra if you feel the service was over & above.

On the new promotion, Princess is paying the gratuities. Does anyone know if this shows up each day as paid, or is it just completely gone. Would be easier to figure how much OBC is left if it's not there at all. Thanks, Fran

We've had it happen both ways.

Our last cruise with paid gratuities (Nov/Dec) gratuities weren't listed at all. You're right, it does make it a lot easier.

They don't post anything at all. It's not like the laundry where a dollar value is first posted & then credit is given back.
