Creator's Key Takeaways
Cruise lines moved tipping from optional and personal to automatic and abstract.
Instead of cash envelopes at the end of the cruise, most major cruise lines now charge a daily pererson gratuitity that's automatically added to your onboard account.
Some call it a gratuitity, others call it a service charge, some call it a hotel service fee.
Even though tipping is supposedly handled, you're constantly seeing tip related charges show up in different places under different names at different times.
