You can either have them added to your account or not, as you wish. If you do nothing at all, they will not be added to your account and envelopes will be provided to you for cash tipping on the final night. Or, you can go to the customer service desk any time during your cruise and fill out a short charge authorization form, and the tips will be charged to your account. They then provide you with "chits" to give your steward, waiter, etc saying that the tips have been set aside for them.

The form is actually placed in your room or at least it has on our last two cruises.

Works fine.. sign it and drop it off at the Service Desk. You must buy in to the whole deal though. You agree to tip all the folks listed the recommended amount or you must look after it yourself.

And the tip list will not include your wine steward. If you intend to order wines at dinner, you will want to tip them separately, if you do the pre-paid thing. I prefer pre-pay when I make my reservation, then tip as I go..to the people who knock themselves out for me, i.e. although there is a gratuity automatically added to the bar bill, I alway add an additional tip for my champagne guy, I usually give him an extra $20 every few days or so. And I always tip "extra" for my steward. But this is all a matter of how much you ask of them, (I ask alot) and their level of service, and of course, your own discretion.

You can also go to My Celebrity on the celebrity website, and in your booking, under manage reservations, you can add the tips right there on your credit card. So, it's done well before you board. One less thing to remember.
