• Pre-Pay Guests may call Carnival to purchase pre-paid gratuities at the time of booking up until sail date. If the final payment date of the cruise has passed, payment must be made at the time of adding the pre-paid gratuities. You may also add pre-paid gratuities on carnival.com at the time of booking or anytime up to 11:59pm ET, 2 days prior to sailing. If a guest booked with a travel agent, they may contact their travel professional to add pre-paid gratuities to their booking. Prepaid gratuities are reflected in the ‘Miscellaneous Charge' field on the confirmation and in the guest's E-Documents.
• Sail & Sign® If guests have not pre-paid their gratuities, the recommended, per person, amount will be posted to their Sail & Sign account during the cruise. Should a guest not be satisfied with the service they receive, they can contact the Guest Services desk while on board. This will allow us to address their concerns in a timely and appropriate fashion. At the discretion of the guest, gratuities may be adjusted after they have been posted on the guest's account, while on board. Gratuities, as posted on a guest's Sail & Sign account, will be considered final after a guest disembarks and no changes will be made after the cruise.
