Creator's Key Takeaways

most Cruise Lines do automatically add a service charge to your bill which includes the tips for certain staff members including the cabin Steward waiters and other essential staff

if you're in a suite those uh daily gratuita charges will be higher and I have seen upwards of around $21 per day in the Suites

we're pretty generous when it comes to you know giv a little extra to the staff I mean you know they really do work very very hard

you need to find out if you're booking through a travel agent or if you're booking directly from the cruise line you need to find out if when they are booking your cruise are the gratuities included in your cruise fair

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Ask staff if tips on your bill go directly to them or into a kitty
βœ“Bring cash on board to give tips directly to specific staff members
βœ“Check if gratuities are included in your cruise fare when booking
