Creator's Key Takeaways

We are well experienced... Cruising 27 times!!!!

Usually, no, we do not take for the Caribbean. No, we do not take our passports with us.

I think there's got to be a kind of an age limit. So, he's a 2-year-old. I don't personally think that he should have to pay gratuitities for the 2-year-old.

We have adjusted up before plenty of times. Yes, we have adjusted down a couple of times because of a few things, but more up than down.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take a picture of your passport or keep a photo copy in your wallet when going on excursions.
Do not take your physical passport on excursions in the Caribbean to avoid losing it.
Adjust gratuities up for good service and down only for very poor service.
