Creator's Key Takeaways
Put your wallet away. Seriously, if you try to slick the bartender at 20 on a luxury ship, you aren't being generous. You're making it weird.
Gratuities are included. And I don't mean added to your bill daily. I mean, they're baked into the fair.
The culture here is totally different. It's not transactional. It's intuitive.
Luxury dining is slow. It's European. A dinner on Oceanana or Regent is the evening's entertainment.
