Karlie1 Posted September 26, 2011 #1 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I just paid our final payment to Carnival for Dec 10 sailing. When do we pay the Prepay tipping? Is the price still $10 PP times 7 days? Thanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted September 26, 2011 #2 Share Posted September 26, 2011 They will charge your S&S daily on Carnival if you don't pay it in advance. You can call anytime and give them more money...it will show as a credit against your account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eh2zed Posted September 26, 2011 #4 Share Posted September 26, 2011 If you don't prepay it, it will be on your final statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanJ Posted September 26, 2011 #5 Share Posted September 26, 2011 It's been 2 years for us since we've been on Carnival, but they just charged it onto your account the first day for the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted September 26, 2011 #6 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Yes, the auto tips .. are automatically added to your S&S if you dont prepay. usually the first night or first sea day they will show up on your account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlie1 Posted September 26, 2011 Author #7 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I thought I read somewhere that if you pay in advance it's faster to process boarding. What do most of you do? Upside-Downside!:cool: Thanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie J. Posted September 26, 2011 #8 Share Posted September 26, 2011 When you pay your tips has nothing to do with with boarding at all. Makes no difference how you do it when you board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gail & Marty sailing away Posted September 26, 2011 #9 Share Posted September 26, 2011 They will charge your cabin every day on your SaS card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upside-Downside!:cool:Thanks:) Nope. It has nothing to do with boarding. The only thing that makes the boarding process go faster is filling out your boarding pass online ahead of time. Some people like to prepay because it is one less thing they have to worry about paying later. Others like to experience the service first, have on board credit or something they want applied to the tips once they board the ship, or just want to pay them later. It's really a personal preference. One is not wrong or better than the other. I personally prepay whenever I can just to get them out the way. I also prepay as many excursions and other things as possible too. I just like to have as much of my vacation paid for upfront before leaving home. Everyone is completely different though.

mamasue Posted September 27, 2011 #11 Share Posted September 27, 2011 We usually prepay when we pay for the cruise... whichever cruise line. We think of it as part of the cruise cost..... Just makes the onboard expense account seem smaller at the end of the cruise! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlie1 Posted September 27, 2011 Author #12 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Thanks. I guess we will pay the tip now. The only thing we have left would be the hotel room in MIA and taxi ride back to airport.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
