Prepaid Gratuities ??

[flasaltwater]

If we want to prepay the gratuities do they need to be paid before or on when our last payment for our cruise is due?? or do we have right up until the time we cruise.

 

TIA

you can do it during the booking process online. Otherwise just give carnival a call and they should be able to help you

I usually pre-pay my tips when I book my cruise. Prepaid gratuities is part of our cruise total cost & something we like to get out of the way.

Thanks for the quick responses

We've already booked and were thinking it might be a good idea if we can swing it to pay the Gratuities up front and out of the way. Ill probably give Carnival a call.

 

Thanks

I figure I will prepay those a month before we cruise - that way it does not interfere with my cruise spending......

Just asked my PVP this question a couple of weeks ago when I paid the cruise off. She said I could call and pay the tips anytime I wanted or when I cruise. I'm thinking I'd like to pay anything I can before we sail. I'm going to go ahead and get my bottle of Seagrams and DH his drink tickets ahead of time too. We did that last year and it worked good for us.

The cutoff is about 2 weeks prior to sailing. (amazing that of all the responses in this thread only one attempted to answer the OP's question).

Just call customer service and tell them you want to prepay the gratuities. We did it after our cruise was paid off and it was no problem. It shows up on your cruise documents after you complete the fun pass registration.

I let 'em charge it to my Sail & Sign Card. That way if there is a problem with someone I can adjust the gratuity accordingly.

Have not heard of the drink tickets. What are they?
