Gratuities on Carnival Cruise Line are service charges that cover tips for the crew members who provide you with excellent service throughout your cruise. These tips are essential as they reward the hard-working staff who ensure your vacation is enjoyable and stress-free. Here's a breakdown of what you need to know about Carnival Cruise Line gratuities:

Gratuities are collected to fairly compensate the crew members for their service, which includes your stateroom attendants, dining staff, and other behind-the-scenes team members. These funds are pooled and distributed among the staff, ensuring everyone who contributes to your positive experience is rewarded.

As of now, the standard gratuity rates on Carnival Cruise Line are:

• $16.00 USD per person per day for standard staterooms
• $18.00 USD per person per day for suites

These rates apply to all guests aged two and older.

Gratuities are automatically added to your onboard account, making it convenient and hassle-free. You have the option to pre-pay gratuities before your cruise or have them charged daily to your onboard account during your voyage.

If you feel the service exceeded your expectations or did not meet your standards, you can adjust the gratuity amount by visiting the Guest Services desk onboard.
