Schedule of Onboard Charges
Gratuities
100% of guest-paid gratuities go directly to support our crew.
Gratuities (charged per guest, per night) and service charges (applied to optional onboard services like spa treatments) help support the entire crew who make your cruise exceptional—from your stateroom attendant and dining team to the behind-the-scenes specialists like pastry chefs, line cooks, and laundry staff. These staff members are compensated by a combination of salary and bonus programs that these charges support. Our crew works together as one team to deliver unforgettable hospitality. That’s why these charges are fixed and applied to all guests, including our littlest parakeet cruisers. Additional tips for service that goes above and beyond are always at the guest’s discretion—and always appreciated by our hard-working crew.
Gratuities* are additional and are automatically added to your stateroom account during your voyage:
- $22.00 per person, per night for staterooms
- $25.00 per person, per night for Suites
Gratuities and Service Charges help us maintain the high level of hospitality that is a hallmark of our award-winning crew, including:
- High levels of staffing and exceptional crew-to-guest ratios across departments
- Twice-daily stateroom housekeeping services
- Highly skilled professional services and entertainment onboard, including Executive Chefs, Pastry Chefs, Mixologists, Tattoo Artists, Acrobats, Professional Musicians, and more
Fuel Supplements
- Fuel supplements may also be added to your stateroom account based on the current fuel rates as per the Ticket Contract.
- As of June 1, 2024, the Fuel Supplement is $15 per person, per night for guests sailing aboard the Margaritaville at Sea Paradise and $0 per person, per night for guests aboard the Islander.
Service Charge
- Some onboard services, like Room Service, Spa, Specialty Dining, Beverage Purchases, etc. incur a standard Service Charge that is added to the listed/menu price and charged at the time of services rendered. These Service Charges are similar to others found across the restaurant, hotel, cruise and hospitality industry. As of February 1, 2025, the Service Charge across all Margaritaville at Sea ships is 20%.
