Tipping - Pre-Paid or Pay Onboard?

[KatKruises]

I wanted to get a feel for what people are doing nowadays. I've notice that pre-paying them has become more popular recently but I've never done it myself. I just give the tips in the envelope they give at the end of the cruise. What do you do???

In the past I would just pay them while onboard, but for my last cruise I did pre-pay them and it was one less thing to have to worry about during the cruise.

I've always paid for them at the end of the cruise. Works just fine for me...that way if I feel a certain crew member deserves something extra I can take care of it myself.
