Edgewater601 Posted May 27, 2019 #1802 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) I am sorry to be asking what is probably a dumb question but I am not familiar with Oceania. For those of you who were leggers on this cruise, how does the tipping for the onboard staff work? In looking at the Oceania website, it says for regular staterooms that they hit your onboard account with $16 per day per person. Does anyone know if you can use your OBC for that or if that is just an additional charge? Thank you for any information you can provide.

For those of you who were leggers on this cruise, how does the tipping for the onboard staff work? Do they just hit your onboard account for a set amount every day to go against a credit card or are you expected to come up with cash? Unfortunately, we don't have prepaid gratuities as an amenity so I am wondering how Oceania handles it for the leggers. Thank you for any information you can provide. We did a segment of the ATW cruise two years ago, The normal per person daily gratuity will be charged to your on board account just as it would on any other Oceania cruise. Current gratuities are $23 per person per day in suites and above, $16 per person per day in concierge class and below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had OBC from my travel agent that paid it, but I'm not sure if you have OBC from Oceania whether that can be used toward gratuities. Some cruise lines don't allow that, some may.

Ever since I took a segment of the ATW I've wanted to do the whole cruise, but circumstances make it unlikely that I ever will. Keep enjoying the experience while I sit here jealously reading about it and looking at all the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
