Creator's Key Takeaways

for some reason cruising leads to more confusion about tipping than anything else

some ships the small ones particularly they they include the the the Tipping so it's already taken care of when you pay your fair up front

most of the time though what they're doing nowadays is the cruise lines are adding a per person per day gratuity to your bill and it could be somewhere around $10 or12

I always give my state room attendant some extra money because us usually ask them to do a few extra things for me

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Check if your cruise line includes tipping in the upfront fare
✓Expect a per person per day gratuity charge of around $10-$12
