Not each day....its added all at one time on the 2nd day (usually). Just a 1 time charge for all days together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lottacruises Posted July 16, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Depending on the length of the cruise. They will add them all at once toward the end of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ontheweb Posted July 16, 2019 #7 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Gee, there were 3 contradictory answers. Our experience is that they were added each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted July 16, 2019 #8 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) All at once later in the cruise. Feels like night 5 of a 7 day cruise is when I see the line build at guest services. Edited July 16, 2019 by Saint Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisegus Posted July 16, 2019 #10 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Carnival definitely does not add them on a daily basis, such as done by RCCL, as has been stated in previous posts. Based on my experience it has been later in the cruise just not certain which day for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robc1972 Posted July 16, 2019 #11 Share Posted July 16, 2019 You can also opt to have them removed from your account should you see fit. Sometimes if you prepay you can get cabin credits for doing so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are talking about OBC--On board credit --people can get that as a booking bonus amount, early saver credits etc. Its an amount that is already on your sign and sail as a credit when you board.

Carnival does not do a daily tip added each day. It is all at one time and has varied from being added on the 2nd day to the 2nd to last day of the cruise.

This I understand. I also understand that if you pre-pay gratuities they show up as a credit to your OB account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should a guest not be satisfied with the service they receive, they can contact the Guest Services desk while on board. This will allow us to address their concerns in a timely and appropriate fashion. At the discretion of the guest, gratuities may be adjusted after they have been posted on the guest's account, while on board. Gratuities, as posted on a guest's Sail & Sign account, will be considered final after a guest disembarks and no changes will be made after the cruise.
