Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

New Yorkers take great pride in their holiday traditions, so embrace the festive spirit and join in the celebratory atmosphere aboard the cruise. It is customary to tip the crew and staff as you would at any fine dining experience, typically 18 to 20 percent for exceptional service.
