I Removed The Gratuities On My Cruise & This Happened - Jewel Of The Seas

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator documents a day on the Jewel of the Seas, beginning with a post-workout meal at Izumi and observing a belly flop competition on the pool deck. A significant portion of the video focuses on the creator's decision to remove automatic gratuities from their account at guest services. They explain that this practice is specifically used when they have an unlimited dining package to avoid triple tipping, as gratuities are already included in the package cost. The creator expresses a desire to tip staff directly in cash and asks for transparency regarding how onboard gratuities are distributed to crew members. Later, the creator enjoys a steak dinner at Chops Grille and shares an anecdote about an entitled passenger they observed behaving rudely toward a waiter. The day concludes with the creator participating in a Rock the Room competition and attending a 70s themed party before preparing for the final day of the cruise.
