Carnival Gratuity???

[stdntnrs2005]

Hey everyone, im cruising with paradise this november but forgot to add the gratuity, can someone tell me how much the proper gratuity is...

It's automatically added to your sail and sign account and then if you want, you can give extra to the person.

Here's an excerpt from Carnival's website.

For your convenience, we automatically charge the gratuities for dining and stateroom staff to your onboard Sail & Sign account. The total amount is $10.00 per guest, per day (our recommended guideline) as follows:

$ 3.50 Per Day Stateroom Services

$ 5.50 Per Day Dining Room Services

$ 1.00 Per Day Alternative Services: distributed to other kitchen and hotel service staff

For Cruises-To-Nowhere, gratuities of $10 per guest, per day must be prepaid.

Our Staff is totally committed to exceed your expectations in every way possible. If you are not satisfied with the service you receive, we encourage you to contact the Purser’s Information desk while onboard. This will allow us to address your concerns in a timely and appropriate fashion. At your discretion, you may adjust the gratuities at any time.

For beverage purchases, fifteen percent of the bill is automatically added to the Sail & Sign charge. Room Service staff may be tipped as service is rendered. Tipping your Maître d’ is at your discretion, based upon the service you receive.

We also give extra in the means of cash at the end of the cruise.

we take ours off our account and tip at the end; the bar staff get theirs b/c its on every drink you order.
