Creator's Key Takeaways

I am NOT a huge fan of the current tipping systems on cruise lines the gratuity systems

I don't think the current system is fair to the employee I don't think it's fair to the consumer

the crew are aware and the Tuesday after each voyage is over they will be given the information of how much gratuity they have earned

it's manipulative it's dehumanizing to the people that they put in that position

โœ“Prepay gratuities to avoid the cabin steward thinking you stiffed them
โœ“Don't remove gratuities as the crew will know and it's not right

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

We are often asked does the cruise staff know who prepays gratuities and who removes them. In this video we look at how Carnival Cruise line answers that question and explore what it means. I feel that cruise tipping practices are manipulative here is a video I made about it: https://youtu.be/DOg92Tx71Jk My wife Jenny can help you plan your travel.
