I agree that was my point. I think the majority of people do not know that

I actually felt good paying this fee thinking that it was going as a tip to the staff

I just have an issue that cruise companies call it a service fee gratuity free. In hotels and restaurants that fee that is collected is distributed among the staff. In that case just raise your prices and be up front with your fees. I feel that the major of passengers feel that this fee went to the staff that served them. Mist passengers never tio their servants because they paid a gratuity fee

The fee is very deceiving they should not call it tips and gratuity

The fee is very deciving they should not call it tips and gratuity

Can someone confirm this

I just got off a 7 day MSC cruise and made friends with some.of.the staff. They mentioned that MSC does not share the gratuity with them.
