It is possible to get services charges removed from your bill and/or to change what you pay for these, though I just stick with the cruise line recommendations.

No service charge for children under 2 years oldĬaribbean cruises bump the numbers up to $14.50 per adult per day / $7.25 per child per day.

12 Euro per day per adult (age 12 and older).

At the time of writing, service charges for European cruises are: MSC lists their automatically billed service charges on this page. Typically, gratuities are automatically added to your folio during the cruise at a cost of $14-$17 per person per day depending on the cruise line. With all of the free cruise offers I’ve written about, you’ll pay additional money for daily gratuities (or what MSC calls “hotel service charges”). In this case, the hype seems mostly real: the free MSC cruise offers are truly pretty close to free – as you’ll see.

I should note that I often have a hard time describing these cruise match offers well: the “free” cruises aren’t really free, but calling them “discounted” sounds to me like one of the many marketing emails you might receive saying “up to $650 off!” which we all know isn’t really a discount but just a marketing ploy.

In this post, I wanted to share our experience booking the “free” MSC cruise offer from Rivers casino elite status and matching elite status to MSC for additional perks. I’ve written quite a bit about “free” cruises lately, and over the past couple of days my wife and I have booked a couple of those offers.
