Pre paying of Gratuities or Tips

[Marsude]

Hi everyone,

I have prepaid for drinks, excursions, speciality meals etc and to further minimise onboard expenses, I would like to prepay gratuities/tips prior to embarking. Is there an online site where I can do this? Then onboard I can just personally give extra to those who provide me with great service in cash.

Many thanks

Call RCI or have your TA do it and you can have them put an OBC on your account so that your daily tips will be covered.

Call your travel agent and they will take care of it for you with your credit card. Or in the case that you booked directly through Royal Caribbean, simply call them yourself and they will take care of it for you. I don't believe you can do it online. We also like to prepay for gratuities and have everything paid for in advance of our vacation :). We usually tell our TA at booking to go ahead and add the gratuities to the invoice right away. But you can do it anytime afterwards.

Many thanks LilMermaid and Ourusualbeach ... this is a great way to get answers to all the questions a person new to cruising has.

An alternative is to sign up for My Time Dining, which will throw you into the pre-pay pool, and you can pay them off ahead.

Your TA can do that for you.
