michaelt721 Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Hi, Sorry if this has already been answered but I couldn't find it. Does the staff that gets prepaid gratuities know that I've prepaid or not, prior to me disembarking? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrznTxn Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 There is no visibility by the ship working staff that you have or have not prepaid gratuities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChessE4 Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 I think the vast majority of guests either prepay or are charged by the day on the ship, so most staff assume they are receiving the default amounts unless you give them extra. From what I have read and heard in my cruising, only a small number of guests go to Guest Services to change the default amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmw Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Just don't be one of those people who goes to the front desk and removes your gratuities from your bill. These people work really freaking hard for what we in the First World would not consider reasonable pay. They make a lot of their money on those gratuities.

Traveling Mike Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 They do not know who paid and how much. They just see an additional amount on their paycheck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
