Who gets it
Pooled across the many onboard team members, those guests see daily and behind-the-scenes crew (dining, housekeeping, etc.).
Removing or adjusting it
Pay-as-you-go Crew Appreciation can be adjusted/removed onboard at Guest Services up until disembarkation. Prepaid Crew Appreciation CANNOT be removed once purchased; no post-cruise refunds. Moderate strictness.
Prepay vs onboard
Can prepay; prepaying locks the rate. Pay-as-you-go Crew Appreciation can be adjusted onboard. Same dollar amount whether prepaid or onboard.
Children
Same daily rate as adults (Princess applies Crew Appreciation per guest; no separate published child rate).
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).
