Creator's Key Takeaways

they're raising that tip percentage by 3% however they're only giving one and a half percent to the actual bar staff carnivals gonna pocket the other one-and-a-half percent

I'm a firm believer that the crew onboard the cruise ship they earn every penny that we give them

the increase will reflect on your first paycheck of December 2018 from this 3% increase 1.5 percent will go to the server and the other remaining 1.5 percent will go to the ASP pool
