Gratuity vouchers

[Dor]

A travel agent has offered us, as an incentive, gratuity vouchers on a September cruise on the Journey. I understand how vouchers work on a tradional dining cruise but not with the Journey's open dining policy. In fact I'm wondering if it is even possible to use them at all for tipping dining employees? Thanks for any insight. - Deborah

Do you mean that the TA has offered to pay your gratuities on the Journey? I don't believe there are any vouchers involved. Your ship account will be charged a certain amount (I think it's $12.25) per person per day for tips. You then have the option to give more to anyone you please.

Hi and thanks for your response. I specifically asked the TA if our account would be credited the amount of the gratuities which would have been great. But she said no, we would receive vouchers.
