Home/FAQ/ Do Cruise Ships Add Auto Gratuity Onto Your Bar Bill
Do cruise ships add auto gratuity onto your bar bill?
Most cruise companies will automatically add on some sort of gratuity or service charge onto your bar bill.
When purchasing an on board service such as a spa treatment or drinks most cruise lines will add on a small percentage as a service charge for each transaction. This will be given to the spa therapist or barman who has served you.
If you feel like you have had an outstanding service you can increase this amount of service charge, or if you feel like you have not had such a good service then some cruise lines will usually allow you to remove this.
Each cruise line has different terms and conditions for this so you must check before travelling what the specific policy is on gratuities and service charges.

Excellent service, our agent was really good and knowledgeable. She helped us decide what we wanted from our cruise she couldn’t have done anymore for us.

No need to go elsewhere
The Service delivered from cruise kings was exceptional,they understood my needs and everything was booked and confirmed very quickly and at a great price.
In the past I have always booked directly with the cruiseline in future I will be going direct to Cruisekings.

The best cruise agents ever.
The best service, and after service ever.
Nothing is ever too much trouble, they are always available to help you with any queries, or worries you may have. In my opinion Cruise Kings quotes are practically impossible to beat. They go above and beyond for their customers. They are a pleasure to deal with, and I highly recommend them.
