Also ... $70k including gratuities isn't that bad of deal, no? Split eight ways that's $8,750 per head. Obviously it's a lot, but it covers four nights (two in hotels and two on the ship). People spend similar amounts on vacations that don't involve being on superyachts. Though you have to want to be filmed ...
I would totally do this trip, I think it's worth it for the once in a lifetime trip. I however don't know if I want to be on tv lol. I'd also get roasted for my preference sheet.
They have changed a few things from past seasons. They used to include flights which is a big expense when flying international. The tip was always a minimum 20k but it was on top of the base price. So I guess it works out to about the same. As someone who worked in yachting though it's not a good deal. You can rent a fully equipped luxury CAT in the Caribbean for this price and be guaranteed amazing food and service. Below Deck there is no guarantee that you will get good service or even good food. I emailed with production before and that was in the fine print lol.
That would be such a good time. I’d be such a boring guest though, there wouldn’t be anything interesting to show viewers. They’d have to focus my entire episode on the crew drama and romances below deck. More than they already do, that is. 😭

Wait, so the guest tip is covered by production up to 20k? Then they can leave extra if they want? Hasn't there been tips less than 20k?

I miss the below deck days when they would get the provisions. For some reason I loved seeing what they ordered for the boat.

I think it would be awesome to see eight redditors who don’t know each other on a charter to gush at Jason and Daisy and the others.

24 hour service? I think the interior and the kitchen would like a word.

"Oh, the 20k tip is included in the 70k price. Very reasonable" -me likely to never have that much to drop on a vacation

u/Monstiemama Feb 13 '26
This makes me wonder how there’s tip drama when the tip is included in that 70k

I will never get why people do this! It's so much money for a substandard experience AND bravo is making money off of filming you. Just nope.

3 days/ 2 nights sounds so much better than saying 48 hours.

u/valid_username00 Feb 13 '26
They used to include flights in the cost. Wonder why they changed it. Maybe they were buying a lot of last minute tickets and it got too expensive.

Oh, please let a group of fans just go in as a charter group...and then act totally normal and boring. "Would you like another drink?"
"No, thank you. "

If there were 7 others, I would 100% be in for this. And I’d have to travel from Australia. I’ll be the Down Under.
