anewell28 Posted November 1, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Hi, So the question in the title is pretty simple. Just noticed we do not have prepaid gratuities on our November 24th sailing. Prepaid tips is something we usually do, but for some reason when booking on our last cruise ship it was not included. Is there a way to prepay them now? Should I get on the phone with RCCL or is it a lost cause? And if we cant prepay them now, whats the best way to tip while on board (my time dining/stateroom)? Thanks!

Another_Critic Posted November 1, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 1, 2019 If you don't prepay, they charge the daily tip amount to your SeaPass account each day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeepfan2006 Posted November 2, 2019 #6 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I just called this week to prepay my gratuities for 12/8 Oasis. I was off the phone in less than 5 minutes which includes the 2 minute hold for an operator. Easy peasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinallyConvincedDH2Cruise Posted November 3, 2019 #7 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I am also sailing on 11/24 and noticed we weren't charged. Any benefit of calling it in now vs doing it daily on the seapass card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on if you want to see the larger charge on your seapass account at the end of the sailing or not. If you want to put your cruise week charges on a different credit card than your gratuities, then call and do it now. I try to use my cards so big charges hit on different billing cycles. Makes my monthly budget happier if I pay things like this in smaller increments. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
