Creator's Key Takeaways

the cruise lines don't make it easy and you're never going to get a straight answer no matter which Cruise Line you go to

I think the cruise lines need to be more upfront and honest about it because they're not going directly into the pockets of the staff

I will give my bartenders and waiters one Buck a drink two bucks a drink

I just wish the cruise lines would just increase their prices rather than claim that this is a tip because it really isn't

Creator's Tips & Advice

Go to Guest Services on the second to last day of your cruise at night to remove daily service charges
Tip bartenders and waiters per drink or at the end of the week for exceptional service
Give cash directly to room stewards and other staff for better impact
