Tipping

How much you tip is purely a personal matter and completely up to you. However, we do have many guests who ask for some guidelines in regard to what is appropriate. We suggest the following gratuities for general information only. Gratuities are customarily given the last evening of your cruise. If you have any further questions, the Purser or Cruise Director will be glad to help you.

  • Dining Room Waiter: $3.50 per person/per day
  • Dining Room Busboy: $2.50 per person/per day
  • Room Steward: $3.50 per person/per day
Other personnel, such as Bar Waiters, Bellboys and Deck Stewards maybe tipped as service is rendered. 15% of the bill is automatically added to Sail & Sign beverage purchases which you may adjust appropriate to the service received. Gratuities can be prepaid to Carnival at time of booking or anytime up to two weeks prior to sailing. These guests will receive three gratuity coupons per booking with their cruise documents: one for the Dining Room Waiter; one for the Dining Room Busboy; and one for the Room Steward.
