The number one reason I don't prepay gratuities is that Princess offers zero financial incentive to do so. This merely amounts to an advance payment transfer, which in large volumes, works well for Carnival Corp.

With most of the ship now buying a "package" lately, they don't have much say about the gratuities anyway. Unless you have a real complaint about something that's gone wrong during the cruise, your sort of stuck.
We'll buy their package sometimes, and sometimes not depending on how I feel.
For our money it's just a waste as the internet isn't something I need and 15 drinks a day is way over my limit at my age. ;D

The real question is, what to do with all that OBC if I don't use it for gratuities?
Casino, perhaps?
