Creator's Key Takeaways

Your automatic gratuities don't go directly to the person who served you.

They go into a pulled system on almost every cruise line.

What's not transparent is exactly how the pool is divided, which roles receive what percentage.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Understand that automatic gratuities are pooled and distributed internally across departments.
Be aware that the exact division of the gratuity pool is not transparent.
