@unczhu: Going to Guest service on a cruise to remove the automatic gratuities because I prefer to tip individual hospitality workers in cash. #cruise #cruisetips #cruisetok #cruiselife
Going on my first cruise and going to be tipping in cash; should I remove the gratuities on the first day or the last day

Yup not doing the scam “gratuities” anymore. Cash for the good ones!

I remove it and don’t tip at all. Tipping culture is not something I agree with.

Someone else posted on here that they do not get those tips that you auto gratuity. They suggest that you hand them cash that way they 100% get the money.

How "normal" tipping culture is in America is crazy! Massive corporations have managed to persuade the American public that it's up to them to pay staff their wage. Pulled a blinder there.

Imagine if everyone stopped tipping altogether. Only way to change the system.

What about tips for the people you don’t interact with like cooks and people washing bedding?

Tipping is supposed to be a bonus for good personal service - not a 'fee'. The US needs to scrap it compeletely and just pay people proper wages. It's so dumb.

What about the workers you don’t see face to face? Like the chefs, cooks, public area cleaners etc

I leave the gratuities and tip individually.. they all work so hard and some gruesome hours. They deserve it! It costs hardly anything each day for gratuities that go to everyone.

I would much rather let them automatically take my gratuities. The whole point of being on a cruise is to make vacation easier. No way I’m carrying around a bunch of bills to hand out here & there to only the staff members we see.

All of the back of house staff miss out then. Gratuities go to the people who launder your bedsheets, the sheds who make your food etc…you aren’t going to tip them individually are you?

ugh :
I remove gratuities and don’t tip. It’s not my job to pay their employees a living wage.

It is a must. Been cruising for 25 years and I absolutely refuse to leave them on there. I tip cash and I am extremely generous. As someone who has worked in the casino business for 25 years going I understand Tips and what it means to the staff. Take the auto gratuities off and tip cash to the ones who directly serve you. Don’t balloon the checks of others as your direct staff won’t see much of it if anyway. Tip in cash🫶

I immediately remove and tip cash. More than what is deducted normally.

theres a lot of behind the scenes people that help you. pay the gratuities and tip people who regularly accommodated you extra.
