Carnival Cruise Line is raising gratuities beginning May 1, according to the company's website. Gratuities for suite staterooms will increase from $15.99 to $16.50 per person, per day. For guests in standard staterooms, the new gratuity will rise from $13.99 to $14.50 per person, per day. Guests who do not pre-pay their gratuities will see the charge reflected on their bill on the second-to-last day of the cruise.
