Prepaid gratuities

[kmgt]

If we are signed up for prepaid gratuities, who does that include? Room host? Concierge staff? Dinner service team?

Room host and main dining room serving team (head server, server, and assistant server). Concierge staff need to be tipped separately.

If we sign up for prepaid gratuities, do we still get the tip envelopes?

Yes, you will still receive envelopes showing the amount you have paid that you can give to the tipped staff. If you want to adjust your gratuity amount (whether you've paid in advance or not), you can do so at Guest Services and you will be given a updated tip envelope.

you can also just put cash in the envelopes and hand them to the tipped staff (as an alternative to adjusting the amount at guest services).

We prepaid as well. What other positions do we need to tip that are not included in the pre pay or mentioned from pp’s?

Well, you don't "need" to tip anyone in particular. That said, other tippable positions (not covered under the prepaid gratuities) would be baggage handlers (embarkation/debarkation), tour guides/drivers, bartenders/servers.

Thank you. I wondered about baggage handlers.

Thank you. I guess we will get some cash to take with us.

An automatic gratuity will be added to your bill at those locations though.

Yep. Auto gratuity added to bill - covers all bartenders and servers onboard, pooled and divided among them. If you tip directly (above auto gratuity), they get to keep it.

You can just add it to your room charge. Baggage handlers are the only cash tips I've done in our 20+ DCL cruises. To each their own, though

We like to have cash on hand for room service, but I think that can go on room charge also.

If you're quick enough to catch the room service delivery person to add it to the bill.

I know, they are in and out so quick. I make sure to have the cash tip ready to go and sometimes it seems like they are surprised that you tipped them.
