Whats the deal on tipping?
Tipping policies and suggestions vary from cruise line to cruise line an industry “average” can still be quoted here to provide a guideline. One or more cruise lines now automatically add a tipping surcharge to your shipboard account (you can request adjustments as you see fit) and yet another cruise line confirms a “tipping not required” policy (yet mentions that you are free to extend monetary recognition to cruise staff.) Still, on the average, expect to allow about $8.00 – $10.00 a day per cruise passenger to cover tips to your cabin attendant and wait staff.
