Recently I saw a post on another board about the prepaid tips on RCL being increased by 19%. I haven't been able to find anything else saying this is true. Anyone else hear about this? BTW, I don't disagree that the prepaid tip amount should be increased, I'm just wondering if the post was true.
Increase in amount for prepaid tips?
