Creator's Key Takeaways
tipping is a tumultuous subject when it comes to cruising do you tip don't you tip just the tip
most of the major Cruise Lines pay a very very low base wage which means that the gratuities are very important to the livelihood of the crew members
gratuiti shouldn't really be considered optional they should really be thought of as just a required service fee
the best currency is kindness tipping is great but treat the people on the ship as you would want to be treated
