Holland America Line guests will be asked to pay $1 more per day in gratuities.

The current rates are $13.50 for standard accommodations and $15 for suites. Those figures jump to $14.50 and $16, respectively, for all sailings departing Dec. 1 and afterward, except the 2019 Grand World Voyage and the 2019 Grand South America Antarctica Voyage.

The gratuity is automatically added to a guest's shipboard account, but can be adjusted up or down. 

The rate was last adjusted 18 months ago. Prior to April 2017 it was $12.50 for standard cabins and $13.50 for suites.
