[quote=Anonymous]This is very specific to the cruise line involved, as policies vary widely in the industry. Many cruise line fares do not include crew gratuities, which are expected. Other cruise lines include gratuities in their fares. Some cruise lines provide on-board opportunities for you to spend more money, which you're free to resist but may not want to once aboard, e.g., art sales, spa services, casino games, extra-cost specialty restaurants, charges for soft drinks and/or for alcohol, optional shore excursions, etc. On the other hand, some cruise lines don't offer those things or include them in the basic fare, e.g., Regent Seven Seas. Don't forget the cost of airfare, transfers to and from the ship, and the cost of a hotel the night before boarding (you never want to plan to fly in the day of departure; if your flight doesn't make it, neither do you). Again, some cruise lines include those things, but most do not. [/quote]
