Worry-free, Convenient, No Hassle Tipping. On traditional cruises, guests waited until the last night to tip room stewards and restaurant servers. You had to get bills in the proper denominations, stuff them in envelopes, then hand them to each individual. With Freestyle Cruising you can enjoy your last night at sea, just take advantage of our No- worries gratuities service, automatic and easy, but still optional and your choice.

Features of Freestyle Gratuities:
• Service charge is automatically applied to your shipboard account.
• $10 per guest per day, for guests age 13 and above.
• $5 per day for children age 3-12 (no charge for children under the age of three).
• All service personnel on board receive gratuities from this service charge.
• If you wish to tip more or less than the suggested guidelines, contact the Front Desk to make any adjustments you think appropriate.
