Oceania adds gratuities to drinks bills do they also add a tip?

The gratuity is the tip, but you can always tip extra for good service if you want

You may want to look up the definition of “gratuity.”😳

There is a 20%, I think, service charge added to drinks. The gratuities, a separate amount, are added daily to your account.

Call it whatever you want- gratuity, tip, service charge.

The gratuity charges for the cabin et al. are not posted daily to your account. Rather, they appear as a single total amount.

For booze, it’s 20% on all non-package booze purchases and each of those purchases appears as a separate charge on your account.

Sorry for the misinformation. Last February when we were on Oceania was the last time we paid gratuities. Memory not so good these days!

Regardless of who pays them (you, O Club, TA, OCAPP), the debit and credit for gratuities appears on your shipboard account.

So if you have the Simply More included alcohol, how does that work?
