gratuties
The automatic service gratuity of $18.00 USD per person, per day for guests in non-suites staterooms and Junior Suite, or $20.50 USD per person, per day for guests in Suites, will be applied to each guest’s SeaPass account on a daily basis. The gratuity applies to individual guests of all ages and stateroom categories. As a way to reward our crew members for their outstanding service, gratuities are shared among dining, bar & culinary services staff, stateroom attendants and other hotel services teams who work behind the scenes to enhance the cruise experience.
In the unlikely event that a guest onboard being charged the daily automatic gratuity does not receive satisfactory service, the guest may request to modify the daily amount at their discretion by visiting Guest Services onboard and will be able to do so until the morning of their departure. Guests who have pre-paid their gratuity will not see a daily charge during their cruise.
The automatic daily gratuity is based on customary industry standards. Applying this charge automatically helps streamline the recognition process for the crew members who work to enhance your cruise. We hope you find the gratuity to be an accurate reflection of your satisfaction and thank you for your generous recognition of our staff.
A 18% gratuity is automatically added to all beverages and mini bar items.
A 20% gratuity is automatically added to all spa & salon purchases.
Guests can pre-pay gratuities by calling (UK) 0344 493 4005 / (Ireland) 1800 555 604 or logging into www.royalcaribbean.co.uk before* their sailing. For guests booked through travel advisors, their advisor may add pre-paid gratuities to the guests' booking prior to sailing*. If gratuities are not prepaid prior to sailing, they will be automatically added to the guests’ folios once onboard.
Guests who choose ‘My Time Dining’ on all European sailings will have gratuities automatically added to their bill, as they may be served by different members of the team each night. This means tips for your waiting staff – as well as other dining and housekeeping staff – will be included in the quoted price for ‘My Time Dining’ on your cruise holiday
Guests who choose our open dining option may opt-in to pre-paid gratuities for dining, or add them to their account at check-out.

ADVENTURE SPOTTED AHEAD
When you’re not busy strolling through European capitals or basking in the sunshine on a secluded beach in the Caribbean, keep the adventure going strong with endless thrills onboard. Score some deck-defying views while scaling the rock-climbing wall or show off your putting prowess in a round of mini-golf. And make sure to bring your A-game if you venture into the arcade.
DAYS IN THE SUN, NIGHTS FILLED WITH FUN
There are lots of sun-drenched activities to enjoy onboard during the day. Just make sure to save some energy for later, because the thrills continue long after nightfall.
SOAK UP THE SUN
Set your sights on the horizon as you kick back in a warm and bubbly whirlpool. Unwind and take in the views from behind a crystal canopy while enjoying your favourite day-time drink in the Solarium. Or make a splash to the sounds of live music on the pool deck.
NOT YOUR AVERAGE NIGHT OUT
There’s no curfew on adventure onboard Brilliance of the Seas. When the sun sets, hit the R Bar for a classic cocktail, or swirl and sip your way to rosé-coloured happiness at Vintages. And don’t miss the amazing shows onboard, like the Broadway-inspired production Now and Forever, and the sultry dance showcase, Tango Buenos Aires.
ALL ABOUT THE VIEWS
No matter what sailing you choose on Brilliance of the Seas, every destination you visit is a show-stopper. Fortunately, the ship offers endless opportunities to scope out the scenery and appreciate the sights – whether you’re rocking out 12 metres above deck on the rock-climbing wall or hanging out in one of the Solarium’s serene whirlpools.
SIPS BETWEEN SIGHTS
Classic cocktails crafted by a pro in the retro-inspired R Bar. Reds, whites and rosés from around the world at Vintages. A perfectly-poured pint at the King & Country Pub. On this ship, you’ll never run of places to say, 'Bottom’s up' as you sail to each incredible destination.
