Creator's Key Takeaways

It's not cool to remove your gratuitities.

Those gratuitities are there for a reason and they go to the crew members.

The person that helps keep the public uh bathrooms clean on the ship, they don't get any of that.

When you do that, you're taking away from people who should be receiving some of that.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do not remove gratuities on cruises.
