Can you prepay gratuities?

[juanarcin]

I've cruised with RC before and always prepay gratuities. This is my first time going with Carnival and when I go to my cruise page online I don't see an option to prepay. I figured I would call this weekend to try to pay, but if anyone knows a way to do it online, I would love to learn!

 

Rather take care of it through the site than calling. Thanks!

Call whoever you booked with, and ask them to add it to your invoice :). I have to do that too - thanks for reminding me :)

yes just call carnival and give them your booking information. They can apply it to your balance or you can pay for it while your on the phone with them. Takes about 2 minutes.

You have one shot to add it to your booking online - when you first book. Afterward, you have to call to have it added. A simple quick call... Almost as easy as doing it online.

thank you all, sounds like I'm going to be calling them! :)

Where does it show up on your cruise documents when you pre-pay?

An alternative is to check out the AARP / Verizon gift card thread. You can buy Carnival cards at 10% off face value and use them on the ship at a kiosk to pay the grats.

If you go into "My Cruise Manager", there is a "To Do List" box....click on Print Documents....from there select "Print General Information" (and you do not need to print to view) and in the Invoice you will find details about pre-paid gratuities. IDK if that's the easiest way but it's the way I know;)

Or use them over the phone to pay as well.
