Creator's Key Takeaways

I've advocated doing away with the assigned gratuity just put the cost of the service inside the cruise fare

Cruise Lines please pay the people what they're worth and charge me for it don't make me guess

it is super simple there is no mystery who's getting this money the cruise line can handle it behind the scenes

I think it is on the cruise line to pay people to pass that cost on to us and then let us tip extra if we want to

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Advocate for cruise lines to include service costs in the base fare instead of assigning gratuities

✓If you disagree with assigned gratuities, request removal but be aware of the stigma
