Creator's Key Takeaways

cruise ship tipping that's right guys if I have seen I've been in the game 14 15 months I've been living on the cruise boards on Facebook cruise critic

the number one topic that I hear talked about all the time is is the drink package worth it but we're not here to talk about the drink package today topic number two that comes up the most is cruise ship tipping

it's confusing it's frustrating it would be just so much easier if they would take the whole gratuity language out of it and you just pay for the service as part of your cruise fee

don't be the person that's making them lose money all right that's the assigned gratuity make sure that you tip people that it's customary to tip

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Do not remove your assigned gratuities because you're going to make sure somebody's not going to get paid
✓Tip where it's customary, such as to taxi drivers, rideshare drivers, shuttle drivers, and luggage handlers
✓Check the tip line on any bill to see if gratuity has already been included before adding extra
