Carnival Celebration

It is customary for guests to tip crew members for their diligence and good service. Her 100% of the tip goes to the crew she interacts with. For example, flight attendants, restaurant and catering staff, and others who work behind the scenes to improve the overall cruise experience. Collecting this fee automatically streamlines the recognition process and ensures that our crew can participate in your generous contribution.

We've put together some recommended guidelines to help you plan.

• Standard Staterooms: $13.99 USD per person, per day *
• Suite Staterooms: $15.99 USD per person, per day *

*Applies to all cruises departing May 1, 2022 or later, we are adjusting our recommended onboard gratuity policy as follows:

• Standard Staterooms: $14.50 USD per person, per day
• Suite Staterooms: $16.50 USD per person, per day

This daily tip can be paid in two different ways.

Pre-Pay

Tips can be added at the time of booking or at any time up to the departure date. Guests who book directly with Carnival can add a prepaid tip at Carnival.com. Guests who have booked through a travel agency can contact their travel agency to add a prepaid gratuity to their booking. Prepaid gratuities will be reflected in the "Other Charges" field on booking confirmations and guest electronic documents.

Sail & Sign®

If the guest has not prepaid a tip, the recommended amount per person will be transferred to the Sail & Sign account on the penultimate day of the cruise. If a guest is unsatisfied with the service they receive, please contact the Guest Services Desk on board. This allows us to respond to your concerns in a timely and appropriate manner. At the guest's discretion, the tip may be adjusted after being credited to the guest's account on board. Any gratuity posted to a guest's Sail & Sign account will be final upon guest disembarkation and will not be changed after the cruise.
