Creator's Key Takeaways
on my first ever cruise I just assume that tipping in addition to those built-in gratuities it wasn't a thing
cruise gratuities are a hot button issue so before discussing Cruise tips I will say there is no right or wrong answer
I personally tip around $20 per person for the week for shorter sailings up to five nights
is cash needed on a cruise a convenience of cruising is that all of your onboard charges are simply build to the card attached to your stateroom account
