Hello from the Ruby!

Just get to the terminal by 10:30 or so and be in one of the first non preferred groups boarding.

The DR is open for lunch from Noon-1:30.

Thank you!

They do, daily charge per stateroom passenger. You can see each charge on your folio. Or you can prepay on your cruise personalizer before your trip.

 

Some people choose to give extra to people they feel gave great service, in extra cash. The automatic gratuities also go to the people you don't see. You can also choose to opt out of them, done once you board at guest services... and give all cash tips as you desire.... or no tips at all.

 

There is strong debate and lots of information on tipping if you search these boards.

 

In summary: Princess will automatically charge a daily gratuity amount to you and after that it's up to you. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much for all of the information!!!
