Virgin announced “No Tipping” Policy on its debut ship, Scarlet Lady says Shay Spence in his article for People.

‘No Tipping’ Policy

Going on vacation for cruise travelers means fun, with a shipload of unanticipated expenses.

Virgin Voyages has taken the initiative to mitigate that with a ‘No Tipping’ Policy.

Why Scarlet Lady cruising a unique experience?

How much to tip will be a major question among cruise travelers. Particularly when many eateries are already complimentary. Many major cruise lines offer the option for guests to prepay for gratuities before sailing or add a gratuity fee at the end.

An explicit ‘no-tipping’ policy will make the Scarlet Lady an even more unique cruising experience than it already promises to be.

In Scarlet Lady, for 20-plus restaurants on board, the total fee is included in the price of booking. Guests need not worry about adding on a service fee, though they can add an additional tip on board if they wish to. This policy applies to all other services and experiences on the ship.

Adults only

The ship is scheduled to set sail in the Caribbean in 2020, and reservations are only open to travelers who are 18 and up.

In addition to some unorthodox on-board amenities like a tattoo parlor and a blow-dry bar, there will be a strong focus on cuisine, with a variety of restaurants across the regional spectrum.

The Scarlet Lady will cruise out of Miami in its inaugural season and will hold over 2,770 passengers.
