Gratuities & Tips

Because tipping is a personal matter, Crystal Cruises does not include gratuities in the cruise fares. Suggested guidelines for stateroom and dining service gratuities are as follows:

Stewardess, $4 per guest, per day (single travelers, $5 per day);
Senior waiter, $4 per guest, per day;
Waiter, $3 per guest, per day;
Butler (Penthouse Decks), $4 per guest, per day.

Tips for the maître d', headwaiter, assistant stewardess and night room service personnel are at your discretion. Gratuities may be prepaid or charged to your shipboard account.

For our Speciality restaurants, Prego, Jade Garden, Silk Road and The Sushi Bar, we suggest $6 per guest, per dinner.

A 15% gratuity for all bar drinks and wines is added to your bar check automatically. We suggest a 15% gratuity for Crystal Spa & Salon services.
