Gratuities for land portion of an Alaska Cruise Tour?

[Lazz]

If I pre pay my gratuities, will that include our guide(s) for the land portion?  If not, what is the suggested gratuity rate?  Thank you in advance.

Pre-paying is only applicable to the cruise portion.

No it doesn't and we just paid our guide at the end of the land tour. I can't recall how much we gave her but I thought there was a suggested rate per day in the paperwork we received from Princess pre trip. Otherwise just pay whatever you are comfortable with and what you thought of the service.

I bet someone on here could tell you the recommended daily gratuity for the guide and for the driver. I know there’s a recommendation; I just don’t know what it is.

The information will be in your travel summary.  

 

This is want is included in our Heart of the Rockies Cruise Tour.  I don't think yours will be much different:

 

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada TIPPING INFORMATION Farewell to your Tour Director Today you will say goodbye to your tour director and motorcoach driver and conclude your Princess escorted tour. As traditions and customs vary widely across the globe, we often have guests ask what gratuity guidelines are appropriate for the region they are touring. It is our belief that gratuities are a direct reflection of the level and quality of service received. It is customary to extend gratuities as a sign of appreciation on the last day of your land tour. The following is the recommended industry standard for tour directors and motorcoach drivers in the Canadian Rockies:        Tour Director: 5.00-7.00 USD per person per day      Motorcoach Driver: 3.50-4.50 USD per person per day   Extending gratuities is a personal matter and should be distributed on an individual basis without solicitation and not on behalf of any group.
