tipping

[Carl]

I am leaving on Sunday for the AOS and I would like to know if RCI will include the tip money to my final bill at the end of the cruise?

 

Thank you, Carl

Here is what RCI says on their web site about tipping.

 

So that you can thank those who have made your cruise vacation better than you could have imagined, we've developed these gratuity guidelines:

Suite attendant: $5.75 USD a day per guest

Stateroom attendant: $3.50 USD a day per guest

Dining Room Waiter: $3.50 USD a day per guest

Assistant Waiter: $2.00 USD a day per guest

Headwaiter: $.75 USD a day per guest

Note: These gratuities also apply to infants and children of all ages.

Gratuities for other service personnel are at your discretion. A 15% gratuity will automatically be added to your bar bill or wine check when you are served.

 

Envelopes for gratuities will be provided in your stateroom on the last night of the cruise. Gratuities may be paid in the following ways:

Pre paid by having them added to your reservation by your booking agent.

Added to your onboard SeaPass account.

Paid in cash at the end of the cruise

 

The answer to your question is "YES" tips can be added to your shipboard account. From what I have read on the RCI board you need to do this before the second to last night of the cruise.

 

Have a great next cruise.

I had our travel agent pre pay our tips, and I was following that guide that RCI had posted on their website, however my agent told me that in the end the total only ended up being $88.00 (Canadian) (so it might work out to $60 American ??) (price is per person).
