Are YOU tipping TWICE on your cruise? #shorts
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator explains a specific aspect of cruise ship gratuities that may lead passengers to tip more than they realize. According to the video, an automatic gratuity of 18 to 20 percent is already included in the cost of specialty dining venues and individual drink purchases. This automatic charge also applies to beverage and dining packages that travelers book online prior to their sailing. While the creator acknowledges the desire to provide extra tips, they warn that adding an additional 20 percent on top of the built-in service charge results in a total tip of approximately 40 percent for a single meal or beverage. The video serves as a reminder for cruisers to check for pre-included service charges to avoid unintentional double tipping.
