Creator's Key Takeaways
It's the highest that we've ever seen in the industry.
They're raising these gratuitities effective immediately.
Carnival Cruise Line's gratuitity is $16 and it hasn't changed since April the 1st of 2023.
Will these other cruise lines who have substantially lower gratuitities look over there at Margaritaville Villa Sea and say, 'Hey, that $22 is looking good. Let's raise the price.'
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Prepay gratuities at the old amount if possible before increases.
✓Consider whether to pay gratuities or have them built into your bill.
