Creator's Key Takeaways

Hey guys, I'm just back from seven days on board the beautiful Carnival Celebration out of Miami.

And today I'm talking about gratuitities. Oh, that hot bit of discussion in the cruise community where people will remove gratuitities.

But no matter what you do, if you're ever curious to see just how your tips are distributed to the different people who you interact with or may not even interact with during your cruise, you can check it out.

So you can take a look to see how your gratuitities are broken out and then make a decision whether you want to tip more remove take care of the crew.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

The debate over tipping on cruise ships is one that that will go on forever and is always a discussion that can get heated with some saying they always remove tips, some remove and pay cash, some keep them on and pay more. No matter what you do, it's a personal choice, but in this video I show you just how much your stateroom attendant, dining service team members, and those behind the scenes get out of that bulk sum you're charged. The example used in this is from my latest 7-day cruise on the Carnival Celebration.
