Should we take the crew on the scheduled outings?

No, you are not required to take the skipper or hostess with you if you go out to dinner or on an excursion during the cruise. That said, it is common—and often appreciated—to share some meals with them, especially to foster a good atmosphere on board.

Important: If the skipper or hostess does not accompany you, you are responsible for the cost of the meal. You will need to pay them compensation, as specified in the rental terms. To avoid any confusion, we recommend discussing this matter at the start of your trip: this will help clarify everyone’s expectations and ensure a harmonious relationship throughout the cruise.
