It is customary to extend gratuities (tips) to the shipboard staff for their services. How much to tip is a personal matter and completely up to our guests.

Carnival's recommended guideline to what is appropriate is $16 USD per person, per day for guests in standard stateroom accommodations and $18 USD per person, per day for guests booked in suites. The majority of the tipping amount goes to employees such as stateroom stewards, assistant stewards, dining room waiters and assistant waiters. A small portion goes to a mix of other personnel who are in guest-facing customer service positions within areas such as culinary and hotel services, along with certain key positions in entertainment and guest services.

Here is the breakdown, per day:

Housekeeping Team: $5.50 ($7.50 for suites)
Dining Team: $6.50
Alternative Services: $2.50

Tipping applies regardless of the dining options selected, such as eating at the casual dining restaurant or open seating dining.

You may choose to prepay your gratuities now at the time of booking, or have them added once onboard.

If you choose not to prepay, Carnival will automatically add the recommended gratuities to the your Sail & Sign account toward the end of the cruise.

Guests less than two years of age are not required to extend gratuities.

Should a guest not be satisfied with the service they receive, they can vist the Guest Services desk while onboard. This will allow Carnival to address their concerns in a timely and appropriate fashion. At the discretion of the guest, they may adjust the gratuities at any time while onboard. Gratuities will be deemed undisputed unless a request to modify is received prior to disembarking the ship.

Royal Caribbean's suggested gratuity guidelines take in account the crew members that work hard to provide and maintain the highest level of service while sailing the high seas.

If you choose not to prepay, Royal Caribbean will automatically add the recommended gratuities to the your SeaPass® account on a daily basis.

Gratuities apply to individual guests of all ages and stateroom categories.

In the unlikely event that a guest onboard being charged the daily automatic gratuity does not receive satisfactory service, the guest may request to modify the daily amount at their discretion by visiting the Guest Services desk during their cruise. Guests can make modifications to the daily charge up until the morning of departure from the cruise. Guests who prepaid gratuities are not able to modify while onboard, but can contact Royal Caribbean or their travel agent post-cruise to request any modifications.
