Crew gratuities: depend on your fare

Carnival Cruise Line’s own page lists Recommended daily gratuity of $17 per person, per day (standard, non-suite rate, USD, read Oct 24, 2026): prepaid, or posted to the onboard account during the cruise. Cruise.com’s listing does not say whether this fare prepays gratuities, so they are not in the known cost above.

If not prepaid: 2 × $17 × 5 nights+ $170
Fare + gratuities, only if gratuities are not prepaid$688

If your fare or package prepays gratuities, the known cost stays $518.

This is not an all-in price. Not included above: flights, hotels before or after, shore excursions, drinks and Wi-Fi, travel insurance and onboard purchases (lines add a service charge to many of these).
