My family just got back from 6 days on the beautiful Carnival Breeze. As with life- you always learn something new. We found out that children under the age of 2 do not have to pay for gratuities on Carnival. We thought there was a mistake on our bill but we found out that we didn't have to pay those tips. So here is a run down of each cruise line's most recent tipping policy!
