Does Carnival make you prepay tips?

[Rahi]

Thanks for any help..Do they by chance have any time dining?

I know you CAN prepay tips but it's not required. If you don't they take it from you S&S on the 1st full day onboard. That was what I experienced on my first cruise. Now for my second cruise I'm prepaying just to get it out of the way. The any time dining I believe is offered but only on select ships. Best I can tell you with that one.

Do not mean to hi-jack thread, but can you send money now to prepay your gratuties before you sail out?

You can prepay grats, but it is only required that you do so on a Cruise to Nowhere.

Also, Carnival is testing anytime dining, but it's only available on two ships, Liberty and Legend. They say they may roll it out fleetwide, but so far, just a rumor.

Yes, you can prepay your tips when you pay for your cruise. We do this all the time.

 

Your TA or PVP can take care of that for you.

Just returned Saturday on the Glory. The gratuity was already booked to our S&S account when we checked in. Carnival does "Reverse Gratuity". No more envelopes to worry with, except for the Matire D. (sp?) The gratuity amount is $10 per person per day regardless of age. You can go to the Purser's desk and adjust it up or down depending on the service you receive.
