Newbie to RCCl with gratuity question

[JuneBugFL]

I normally sail on Norwegian, but there wasn't anything available for a good price in the week I was looking to book (Spring Break 2019).  So this is going to be my first time on Royal.  I saw that when I was booking there was the option to pre pay the gratuities, but I didn't at the time.  NCL allows you to pre pay at any time before sailing, but I haven't found anything like this on my cruise planner for Royal.  Is that an option, or am I just going to have to have it added to my on board charges at this point?

 

Thanks!

p.s. not trying to start any tipping controversy!

Call and ask.  I've never pre paid mine but I can't imagine them not taking your money up front!

Just call RCCL and speak to the "already booked" department.  You can pre-pay your gratuities - I did this last week for my April 2019 TA on Serenade.  Easy to do and now I won't have to worry about them taking it out every day.  Have fun and enjoy Royal
