When I first cruised with Royal Caribbean, I wasn’t sure about the prepaid gratuities and how much to budget. I had actually booked my flights separately and had to change a couple of them last minute. Calling [866-227-1888] was a lifesaver—they handled my flight changes instantly without any stress. As for the gratuities, I learned that Royal Caribbean typically charges around $16–$20 per person, per day for standard service, but it can vary by suite or dining package. I opted to prepay online—it just made everything smoother once I boarded, and I didn’t have to think about cash tips every night.
