Automatic gratuities of $18 USD per person, per day for Inside, Oceanview, and Veranda Staterooms are ALREADY INCLUDED in your Rainbow Readers Cruise Stateroom booking.

If you were booking individually, these gratuities would be additionally charged onboard, but Stateroom and restaurant service gratuities, and a 20% beverage package gratuity are already included in the fare of all guests in our Rainbow Readers Cruise group bookings.  

FOR ALL BOOKINGS: Gratuities for stateroom and restaurant services are shared by dining, bar and culinary services staff, stateroom attendants, and other hotel services teams. With Audiobooks at Sea all of those gratuities have been taken care of so you don’t need to worry during your cruise.

However, an 18% gratuity will be added to all spa and salon purchases, all specialty dining covers purchased, as well as mini bar purchases (which are not covered by the drinks package).
