Creator's Key Takeaways

The people who take gratuities off of their cruise and don't do any gratuities they're lower than low of ponum

I wish Carnival would not allow people to remove gratuities without a fully Justified reason

I think that a large portion of the people that are removing gratuities are genuinely surprised when they show up on their sell and sign account

I think that adding the gratuities to it similarly will give you the full cost of the cruise up front and I think that's a an overall benefit to people
