Any guest that has made a booking by March 31, 2018 will have the option of prepaying their service charges at the current rate if done prior to sail date. Guests with existing cruise reservations who have already prepaid their service charges at the current rate are not affected.
This is the first increase in daily gratuities by Norwegian Cruise Line since last spring.
The daily gratuities are split between cabin stewards, dining attendants, and crew members that work behind the scenes to make your cruise as memorable as possible.
