Creator's Key Takeaways

we always make sure it's deducted or we pay at a time right there's also a debate that's kind of not nice about when the crews automatically has a tip included in the gratuity

we tip additionally to the crew members that make our crews a better experience and seeing me traveling right

I think that if if you've saved for five years to go on a cruise vacation finally had your dream vacation that's all you could afford and couldn't afford 200 extra to put in your pocket for dips or we are 100 believing that that is appropriate

take care of your staff yeah they're a long ways from home and they're doing their best and you know we think that's worth something

Creator's Tips & Advice

Tip cabin stewards at the beginning and end of the cruise for special requests
Tip bar staff after a few days once you have a routine with your favorite bar
Prepay gratuities if available to avoid daily deductions
Use cash tips for exceptional service beyond automatic gratuities
Consider writing thank-you notes with tips for staff
