Prepay savings
Same rate
Prepay locks the rate, no discount
Who gets it
Pooled across stateroom stewards, dining and other behind-the-scenes hospitality crew.
Removing or adjusting it
DSC can be adjusted or removed by contacting Guest Services onboard; NCL frames it as discretionary/adjustable. Removal handled at Guest Services.
Prepay vs onboard
Can prepay; prepaying locks the current rate. No standing per-day discount for prepaying the DSC itself (unlike the FAS bar service-charge bundle). Same dollar rate either way.
Children
Same daily rate as adults; only guests under age 3 are exempt (charged age 3+).
Note: this calculator covers the daily crew gratuity only. The separate 18-20% service charge auto-added to drink packages and individual bar, dining and spa purchases is not included here (a planned future enhancement).
