Creator's Key Takeaways

I have wondered if the cruise lines are sticking uh so firmly to the gratuitity model um because there is a tax benefit to do this.

Bad move, Virgin. Still bad move. Bad move.

if you don't want to get stuck, then you need to go topless.

I am I actually prefer that they keep the earning separate and their earning and the status in separate.
