Carnival Cruise Line has announced a hike in onboard gratuities which will take effect later this year.
The daily recommended amount will rise from $12.00 to $12.95 per person per day in standard staterooms and to $13.95 for suite guests for sailings beginning in September 1.
Cruisers can avoid the increase by prepaying at the current amount by May 9, 2016.
It follows a similar move by rival Royal Caribbean a month ago which upped gratuities to $13.50 per person in a standard stateroom.
Norwegian Cruise Line first began the latest series of increases and in fact upped its charges twice during 2015.
Like its competitors, Carnival passengers have the discretion to adjust the amount to be tipped before disembarking.
The line is also adding some extra perks for suite guests.
"In tandem with this change, suite guests will now receive priority tender service, complimentary in-suite bottled water and one complimentary bag of laundry per voyage, as well as an enhanced turndown service," it said.
