Is there a cruise did not tip list? Royal drops a big Icon of the Seas update. Carnival CRUISE NEWS
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator addresses three distinct topics regarding the cruise industry. First, the video explores whether cruise lines maintain a list of passengers who remove automatic gratuities. Referencing comments from Carnival brand ambassador John Heald, the creator notes that while crew members might notice lower tips, they are no longer provided with specific cabin numbers of those who opt out. Second, the video discusses legal and social tensions in Bar Harbor, Maine. Following a local vote to limit cruise passenger numbers, a compromise was reached where the city will not enact restrictions in 2023 to avoid potential lawsuits from local business owners. Finally, the creator highlights new amenities coming to Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas. The discussion focuses on the new Aqua Dome and two specific bar concepts: the Rye and Bean, a multi-use venue that transitions from a coffee bar to a nightlife spot, and a new dueling piano bar, which marks the first time Royal Caribbean will offer this specific entertainment style at sea.

Creator's Key Takeaways
do the cruise lines specifically does Carnival Cruise Line keep a list of the people who removed their gratuities
the crew are not ever shown a list of the specific cabins that may have removed gratuities
I don't think you should remove the gratuities because I believe that you are not tipping everybody that's supposed to be tipped in that process
Royal Caribbean has announced the new bars for the icon of the Seas and two of them are really interesting to me
