We usually leave the gratuities on whilst cruising however the one of the last cruises we were on the loud man at the table of 8 (we all had a good time at the table joking chating etc etc so stayed at table )was insisting we were mugs he had waited until last minute and got free gratuities and a free drinks package paid a lot less than us for a better cabin ...........

So on the last night of the cruise out comes his envelope with his tip and a big here you are my good man and lady for the waiters and wine steward at the table also another couple had taken there's off auto tip to tip them selves tipped at the table so we and the other couple are left sitting there slightly embarrassed explaining we left the tips on auto tipping ..... Big smile and a hand shake for the envelopes and a off the cuff thankyou sir / madam to us and the other couple

We agree with leaving a tip for good service so we are now halving what we pay auto and using the other half for envelopes never again will we be left sitting embarrassed at a table

We still enjoy cruising but will now wait for the best offers available 😎👩🏼🛳
