I'm Over Tipping on Cruise Ships

I'm Over Tipping on Cruise Ships

Have cruise ship gratuities reached a breaking point? In this special Hot Take Tony episode, I share why I'm rethinking the way I tip on cruise ships after years of paying automatic gratuities and handing out extra cash throughout every cruise. Is the current gratuity system fair to guests? Is it transparent enough? Should cruise lines eliminate automatic gratuities altogether and let passengers tip directly? Whether you agree or disagree, this is a conversation every cruiser has an opinion on. See the video of this episode here - https://youtu.be/1L1e-i86b9k
