torilynne Posted March 6, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I'm going on a May 11, 2014 Carnival Glory cruise and I'm wondering if carnival offers prepaid gratuities? And if so what does it include? What extra gratuity will I have to pay? Thank you! Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemanbobswife Posted March 6, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Yes they do. I am going on that cruise as well! It includes gratuities for your room steward, wait staff, and others. If you pay them, then technically you don't owe anything else. But I, as well as a lot of people, give extra for great service. But you are under no obligation to do so. Only other tips would be when you order a drink from the bar staff. Come join out roll call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contact the (or your TA) and they will add it to your bill. It includes all your service personnel (waiter/waitress, maitre'd, cabin stewards). What it doesn't include is the bar help which you will pay for with each purchase. Hope this helps. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CocoaMom Posted March 6, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 6, 2014 You should also plan to tip for any room service orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAHMto5 Posted March 6, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 6, 2014 We are going on the Glory the week after you! They are $11.50 per day/per guest. We always pre-pay our tips before we go. Makes it one less expense on the S&S bill;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrystalBelle Posted March 6, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 6, 2014 How do you prepay this? I'd like to do it. My step father and step mom are also traveling with us, in different cabins and I don't want him to pay my bill. haha I know he will try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or your TA if you used one. Super simple and easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a box under the section for dining options. You can also call your PVP or TA and have them add it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazilla1 Posted March 9, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Yes you can prepay. I believe that the cost pp is now 11.50 or thereabouts and will cover everything but the bar folks and the porters at the port for your luggage. We always give a few extra bucks to the room steward and the dining staff but I just like to pre pay when I book online and know that it is taken care of and do not have to do the math all the time to make sure everybody is getting tipped accordingly. Ever so much easier!! :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
