Final payment

[JGB]

When I booked my cruise I included gratuity for 2

final payment is due at this time I have payed for the entire cruise plus gratuity for one. 
My question is this if I don’t pay for the 2nd gratuity by the final payment due date will my cruise be cancelled?

If it shows as an outstanding balance, then yes, I believe it is subject to cancellation.  If you aren't able to remove it online so there is no balance due, I would call Carnival to see if they can help.

This is correct.  The system just sees "Balance Due".

There's really no reason to pre-pay gratuities, other than it's one less thing to worry about.  They'll automatically be added to your Sail and Sign account on the next to last day of the cruise, which will of course then be charged to your credit card (assuming you link your account to a credit card).

The only reason I pre-pay gratuities is to pay them at 10% off via AARP Carnival gift card.

a good reason to prepay gratuities is that you are locked in at TODAY pricing should the gratuities go up in pricing. if do not prepay, you will pay whatever the new gratuities price

You can take those gift cards to cust service after boarding & have them added to your S&S acct.  That way you can get your 10% discount on ALL your on board spending including your gratuities.  If any balance at the end of your cruise, they will mail you a gift card with that balance.

Just remove the gratuities and pay your cruise fare off, then re-add and pay the gratuities when you have the funds.
