15% gratuity charge on pop cards?

[jojogana]

do you get the charge up front? or do you get the charge everytime you give them your pop card?

It's included in the purchase price, so you won't need to worry about a tip everytime you get a soda.

Yes every time you use it. Don't buy the card until the ship leaves, they tack local sales tax.

lol i got 2 answers, both different. maybe this will help. The ship is Carnival Glory. And if the answer is that its included in the price, how much will it be total?

The total charge depends on how many days your cruise is, so if your cruise is 7 days long, the amount is $5.50 per day plus 15% gratuity which equals $57.50 per person (unless my math is bad, which I will admit frequently is).

The 15% gratuity is included in the price. You do not pay a gratuity each time you use the card. However, it is true, that if you buy something while the ship is in port, you will be charged the local sale's tax.
