Creator's Key Takeaways

number one is the ship's officers this is someone on the ship that you don't want to tip

you've already prepaid those gratuities it's already been built into that price

my advice is before you go in for your spa treatment just ask how much your total going to be

every single cabinet attendant I've asked this of said no please don't do that

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Do not tip ship's officers, entertainment staff, or hotel directors.
✓Tip porters a small amount for handling luggage.
✓If you buy a drink package, gratuities are already prepaid; no need to tip extra.
✓Ask about included tips before spa treatments to avoid over-tipping.
✓Tip room service staff a couple extra dollars for early morning deliveries.
✓Do not remove daily gratuities; they support the entire crew.
