Do you still have to prepay gratuities if you do select dining?

Sorry, but you will need to prepay gratuities if you have reserved select dining.

If your dining in traditional MDR or you are in a Aqua cabin and dining in Blu you don't have to prepay gratuities. You do have the option of withdrawing the money at the casino cage off your sign and sail card. Last I check it cost you 5%. Richard

yes in advance so move to fixed dining then take a chance of seeing the MDR onboard and move to select once onboard but it is a risk and may not pay off iff full

Yes, you have to prepay gradutities if you choose select dining.

I like select dining. On my last cruise, my TA gave us enough OBC refundable that covered our gratuities. I paid the gratuities in advance. At the end of the cruise, whatever I had left from the OBCR was credited to my Visa. Be careful to determine if the OBC is refundable or not refundable. I got both types. OBCR is refundable. OBCN is not. On the cruise, they use the OBCN first.
