Creator's Key Takeaways

I spent about six years working in a tipped position and that drove me to do some research on how tipping salaries work in the United States.

I think what he's trying to say is that the gratuities aren't the only way that crew members get paid they are paid a salary by Carnival and the gratuities are in addition to that salary.

I hate the way the Tipping is done in cruising it's set up so that the consumer often double tips.

I've cruised on Virgin voyages and none of the crew members are expecting a gratuity you pay all that on the front end their complete salary is baked into the cruise fair.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Pay your assigned gratuities to ensure crew members receive their share.
βœ“Consider giving additional cash tips to staff who provide direct service.
βœ“Research tipping policies on cruise lines' official websites for clarity.
