Gratuties automatically included in cruise fare?

[omarchs]

Have tried booking Msc through their website which I know many have said isn't great.

 

They list the cruise fare and port charges/taxes and then the final cost. The final cost was over a $100 more than the fare and taxes for each passenger. There isn't a line item for this additional cost.

 

Any ideas? Gratuties? Website glitch?

They usually add grats every day to your bill. Do you have a screenshot?

We got our gratuities added by our TA previously otherwise they will be added daily once aboard payable at the end of your cruise. This time we will use our OBC to pay them.

No they are not part of the cruise fare.
