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

From what I understand the mandatory gratuities go to pay the crew salaries. Those that manage to get these gratuities removed, the cruise line is forced to make up. Even the OBC one has that one is able to designate to specific staff is NOT 100% guaranteed to go entirely to those specific staff and will be pooled. This is true of every cruise line
The fee is very deceiving they should not call it tips and gratuity
