Creator's Key Takeaways

They recommend yes, you prepay your tips, which is $16 per person per day in uh any cabin other than a suite.

And suites are going to be $18 per person per day.

But officially for Carnival Cruise Line, the recommended daily tip is all that is really expected.

Don't feel pressured to go above and beyond that. That's the expectation.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Prepay your tips at $16 per person per day for non-suites or $18 for suites.
Don't feel pressured to go above the recommended daily tip.
