leave those alone period I'm not going to tell you what to do with your money except that except that leave it alone there those people work hard

if you feel or if you're in a situation where you can't tip beyond that hotel service fee which is crew appreciation it's just what they call it you don't need to feel guilty

don't compare yourself to somebody else not at all no if they want to do that God bless them good for them

Creator's Tips & Advice

Leave the mandatory hotel service fee (crew appreciation) as it is; do not remove it.
Tip extra only for standout service, such as bartenders or butlers, with cash in envelopes at the end.
Write down crew names for recognition in post-cruise surveys, which helps their career progression.
Do not feel pressured to tip beyond the mandatory fee; it is optional and not expected.
