","Overall, gratuities divided all gratuity base crew members.If you remove your gratuities, it seems we work so hard,and we work for free. Please think all your servers not just MDR,but all over other restaurant venues. You gratuities is our bread and butter😔.

Do you actually receive the gratuities? Some have said that the crew dont get it. There's no difference in their paychecks. please confirm.

gratuities do not affect crew, it affect company bottomline. crew has a contract that is it. they dont get any extra money from gratuities only if you tip cash.

I’ve done 64 cruises. I have never once removed gratuities. We sometimes never go to the dining room cause we only do specialty dining and we still don’t remove gratuities for anyone. We had out cash on top of the gratuities to people we get close to over the cruise.

I wish they’d just make gratuity part of the fare that can’t be removed. I’ve done a Behind the Waves tour - for every one person you interact with there are like ten people supporting them behind the scenes. You may think, oh I’ll just tip my waiter and room stewards in cash, but the linens, towels, pool towels, food, drinks, plates, silverware, cleaning, etc have a team of people preparing so that you get the best service possible. Imagine how much it would impact your stateroom attendant if they had to do laundry themselves. Or how long food service would take if your waiter had to prepare the meal. Or the wait time for a bar drink if the bartender had to stock the bar. It’s a team effort.

Royal Caribbean should pay their employees more. It shouldn't be up to the customer to pay your wages. This tipping is out of control. Tipping automatically is just gone nuts. I tip, who deserves it. If you don't like it, get another job

I am really sad that royal Caribbean has started, allowing people to remove other automatic gratuities. I feel like this is gonna cause an a lot of issues. Although I do believe if there was a major issue with the service, say if I get a massage and it’s absolutely horrible that in certain cases, I should be able to remove it but other than that, there is nothing wrong with 18% automatic gratuities, put on the drink package and specialty dining. Service has already been getting iffy. I expect it to go downhill very soon.

I wish people knew how nice and hard working the staff on cruise lines are. Getting to know them is my favorite part of going on cruises

if you can't afford the gratuities, you should be cruising. workers on the ship work extremely hard to make your cruise a memorable one.

As someone who has worked for RCCL for the last 10 years, I am extremely disappointed when people remove gratuities. 100% of the restaurant management team’s salary depends on them. Over the past year, my salary has dropped by at least 30% compared to what I used to earn. Yet I still do exactly the same job and work the same number of hours. All because 50% of guests decide to “tip in cash,” which is not true. After a 7-day cruise, a waiter might get an envelope with $10–$20 in it, or sometimes nothing at all. Back when I was a waiter in the MDR, you wouldn’t believe how many times I received an EMPTY envelope. Literally nothing. Now I’m the person responsible for handling ALL your reservations and requests for both the MDR and specialty restaurants. I start organizing everything at least 7 days before your cruise even begins. Requests can include absolutely anything: seating arrangements for large parties, allergies, birthdays, preferred table locations — you name it. And then, during dinner service, I have to deal with all your requests your lousy travel agents promise you but never actually deliver. This is just a small example of what I and the other members of the restaurant management team do every single day to make sure you enjoy your vacation. You can say a thousand times that cruise companies should pay us a proper salary, and I completely agree. But the reality is, this is how the system works, and unfortunately, it is what it is.
