Creator's Key Takeaways

Cruise gratuities roughly $14 to $20 per person per day gets added to your state room unless you prepay them

my wife and I when we cruise we tend to give $5 to $10 per day for our room Steward

be aware of specialty dining and Spa service gratuity policies so when you go to a specialty dining restaurant or you book spa services a lot of times those extras have a gratuit an 18 to 20% gratuita built in to the cost

consider pulling your tips cuz they will have a much larger impact large groups might receive additional attention because it's a large group so be generous with that that tip
