    We pay every time

    I like to take cash and tip those that i come in contact with. I'm usually tipping way more than what my gratuities charge. Carnival can't give you a straight answer where those tips go anyway.

    We've never had bad service to have our tips removed. I prepaying as the cruise fair. But I always keep in mind that if im having trouble paying the cruise off in time. I'll take the gratuities off. So at least the cruise well be paid for. And gives me more time to pay the rest

    Fascinating about the contest between two major industries in Florida.
    I agree that USA always has had a solid rule of tipping: restaurants, waitresses, delivery drivers, baggage handlers, &tc., not some app guilting more $$ from me. On a Cruise, I'm thinking I would prepay if possible, and then, if I want to, add more for a specific person. Similar to what I do locally, if it's a bartender, I just say say something like, "hey, I'm just going to tip you for the evening now, ok?, does that work for you?" And they always say sure, as I hand them a 5 or 10, depending on time of day & number of friends in the group. 😊

    I'm always willing to pre-pay the tips before the cruise. If my cabin steward(s) and MDR staff go above the service expectations, then I'll tip extra, just as I do for land-based restaurants.

    If would be nice to have more "Virgin " type cruises where the price for most everything is included.

    That new terminal is another great option for Texas folks who want to cruise while not traveling a lot. The nearest Caribbean cruise port to me is New York, and it is still a good car ride to get there (about 8hrs😅). I prefer it than flying, but it’s still quite far away
