twallan59 Posted January 30, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I just have a question now before I pay for our tickets. We booked a Adult Beverage Package and $299.80 was added to our Summary (as a Promo Srvc Charge) Do I also need to add Prepaid Service Charges to the total sum ($262.64) or is that in the $299.80? Or is the service charge $562.64 for 7 days? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammy531 Posted January 30, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 30, 2018 The first charge would be the tax/gratuity for the beverage package, the service charge is the $13.99 per person per day that covers gratuity/ tips for most employees. So yes, 2 separate charges. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare KeithJenner Posted January 30, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 30, 2018 They are two separate things. The daily service charge covers staff like your room steward, and you don’t need to pay this now. It can be added to your room charge when onboard. The promo service charge relates to the beverage package and you have to pay this before the cruise if you take that perk.

Two Wheels Only Posted January 30, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Is there a "US dollar vs Canadian dollar" thing going on? The service charge on the UBP is $17.80 USD per person per day. The DSC (for most non-suites) is $13.99 USD per person per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second figure is the DSC or daily service charge that is in lieu of gratuities to the crew. If you don't want to pay the First figure you can switch your perk to something other than the UBP. Unless you think that you will spend $300 for alcoholic beverage the UBP is not worth the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
