J_Viggy Posted February 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Ok, we are on a "5 day" cruise from Galveston on Triumph. The itinerary lists day 1 - day 6. In calculating tips, is it 11.50 per person per day times 5? Or times 6? In my budget I had included it for every day (so 6) but now I'm confused!

fishtaco Posted February 17, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 17, 2014 It would be so much easier if all cruise lines just used "Nights" instead of "Days" because the last day isn't actually a day at all! it just a "Off you get" ASAP Travel agents like to use "Days" to make a cruise price look more attractive.

k2excursion Posted February 17, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) It would be so much easier if all cruise lines just used "Nights" instead of "Days" because the last day isn't actually a day at all! it just a "Off you get" ASAP Travel agents like to use "Days" to make a cruise price look more attractive. Carnival may list the debarkation day as "Day 6", but they actually only view it & list it as a 5-day cruise. Your days & nights are the same number: 5, not only in actuality, but also in how Carnival views it. You'll get credit for 5 days sailed, and it will be listed as a 5-day cruise in your history. Maybe travel agents view it or advertise it as a 6-day to make it look more attractive, but Carnival doesn't. That final morning doesn't count as part of the cruise, in my mind or in the minds of almost all cruisers. The breakfast is just to make up for not getting breakfast on embarkation day.

2bthereagain Posted February 17, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Even more reason to board the ship as early as possible. I count that day as day 1 just like it counts as night 1 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
