Pre paid gratuities how to?

[vbscoot]

Hi all....don't want this to get into a discussion to tip or not to tip, or how to tip...that's all been hashed out for sure. Just asking about adding pre paid gratuities to my booking ( and yes I want to beat the increase) . Do I just have to add it to the booking and make the additional payment when the final payment comes due? Or do I need to pay the gratuities charge when I add it to the booking?  Normally hand out extra cash anyway....this way I can give what would have been the increase to person or people that f my choice.

Thanks for any help

Got to your reservation and add it. Simple

Yes, just add them to your booking before April 1, then pay as part of final payment.  If you have any more cruises booked, you should go ahead and add the gratuities to them before April 1.

I would just get it all done now so you don't have to worry about it.  In case anyone needs the path - In your cruise manager, click Booking & Order Details, scroll all the way down to the bottom right, there is a red button for Pre-pay Gratuities, then click pay now.

If you have a TA, they can add it for you, and it'll be added to the invoice with the cruise fare.
