We are planning to pre-pay gratuities. Will we still be expected to pay more at the end?

Only if you want to tip extra for excellent service, which we usually do but it's up to you if your budget allows. Cheers!

The ship will accept additional tips but we will tip extra for "exceptional" service in dining rm and bar. oh if the rooms steward keeps us in ice etc, them too.

We prefer to skip prepaid gratuities and we tip the crew who served us. This way they serve you way better, specially at the bars and restaurants.

We always prepay gratuities. They cover people behind the scenes in addition to your main dining room staff and cabin steward. Drinks, spa, and specialty dining already have 18% added for gratuities. Not expected to give more at the end of cruise but can if you receive exceptional service and wish to. Remembering the names of staff for the survey is more important for their advancement.
