How to Tip on a 7-Night Carnival Cruise
One reason travelers enjoy cruise vacations so much is the fact that they are semi-all-inclusive. All-inclusive means that your entire trip, including your room, tips, gratuities, taxes, food and beverage, is included in the price of your package. Cruises are not considered all-inclusive because certain beverages and foods are not included in the price of your package. When you book a Carnival cruise, your room, meals, taxes and gratuities are included in the price, but soda and alcoholic beverages are not included. Tipping your servers on a Carnival cruise is simple.
