Creator's Key Takeaways
tipping on a cruise is a really hot button topic so let's talk about it
in the past I have tipped more than the recommended amount when I used to travel with a baby or a toddler
really it's up to you and if you end up giving the recommended amount that's perfectly fine
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Cruise lines charge a set amount per person daily for tips, which is divided among crew.
✓You can tip extra for exceptional service, such as to stateroom attendants or hair stylists.
✓Giving the recommended tip amount is perfectly acceptable.
