Before you lock in your cruise budget, don’t forget the sneaky little charge that can quietly add up: prepaid gratuities.
Most cruise lines charge gratuities per person, per night, and the total can vary based on your cruise line, cabin type, sailing length, and number of guests. Use this tool as a planning shortcut to get a quick estimate of what you your final total (including gratuity) will be, then double-check your cruise line’s official policy or your booking confirmation before you pay.
Cruise gratuities are one of those little costs that can sneak up on you. Hopefully, this calculator helps you get a clearer picture of what your trip may actually cost before you book, budget, or make that final payment.
Because the only surprise you want on vacation is how good the ocean view looks, not an extra charge you forgot to budget for. Need assistance booking that cruise? Reach out! I’d love to help you getaway.
