HOTEL SERVICE CHARGE
At MSC Cruises, exceptional guest service is our top priority. During your cruise you will meet staff throughout the ship who provide you with excellent service. They are supported by just as many staff and crew who work hard behind the scenes to ensure you enjoy every moment onboard. For your convenience, MSC Cruises will automatically add a daily Hotel Service Charge to your shipboard account, based on your chosen itinerary and the number of days for which the services are actually provided. MSC does not recommend tipping individual members of staff.
Prepaid Hotel Service Charges are charged in the applicable local currency. Therefore, the amount shown below will be converted to Canadian dollars.
- From March 2nd, 2026 onwards, additional changes will apply to cruises sailing to South America and South Africa; guests with existing bookings confirmed before March 2nd, 2026, will not be impacted by these changes.
- From May 11th, 2026 onwards, additional changes will apply to cruises sailing to Caribbean, Alaska, USA & Canada; guests with existing bookings confirmed before May 11th, 2026, will not be impacted by these changes.
Hotel Service Charge valid for all new bookings from May 11th, 2026, onwards
