Can’t seem to find the answer. When you upgrade to the Free at Sea Plus program, the price they show includes the gratuity for the extra two meals and the upgraded drink package. We have upgraded to Free at Sea Plus on our past three cruises and have it planned for our next one as well. For our next cruise it is $343 pp for the 7-day cruise. That is it. We do not have additional gratuity on top of that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don’t judge me 😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that those charges are not gratuities, but rather taxes if this is day 1 and you were still not out our the local waters. Enjoy your cruise and all the high end booze!

When ported in San Juan we had similar charges on our drinks until sailaway. I know there are some in Europe that do this as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
