LisaLoves Posted April 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I know that the tips are automatically deducted. My question is do they deduct tips for the last day? Is a 5 night cruise charged for 5 or 6 days worth of tips? I've cruised before, you'd think I'd remember this stuff. Thank you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseCrazyCouple0611 Posted April 27, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 27, 2014 You are charged by number of nights on board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out to sea! Posted April 27, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 27, 2014 And the tips are added each day after the previous night (you can track them via your on board account on the TV). So no tips are added on embarkation day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjcruiser Posted April 27, 2014 #5 Share Posted April 27, 2014 And the tips are added each day after the previous night (you can track them via your on board account on the TV). So no tips are added on embarkation day. The total amount of the gratuities/tips have always been added by the second or third night. We usually have OBC of some type, and notice by then thats its reduced due to the tips being added. This cruise we decided that we're going to add the tips before the cruise, to get it out of the way, when we make our Bon Voyage purchases.

I find it much easier to prepay the gratuities, then not have to worry about it being added to my S&S... Easy for me personally to budget that way...

Hoosier Four Posted April 28, 2014 #10 Share Posted April 28, 2014 If I booked with a TA, do I have to go through them to pre-pay tips or will carnival take my money if I called them up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted April 28, 2014 #11 Share Posted April 28, 2014 When booking thru a TA you have to go thru them for everything on your reservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
