I went on a tour a driver took as to 3 places in each place there was a tour guide and a driver, 7 people all wanting tips. The cruise I went on recently bills $20 per person for the cabin staff gratuity. That seem quite a lot. They aso charge 20% on speciality dining and 20% on the drink package cost, about $150. I averaged about 3 glasses of wine a day at $10+
$2 gratuity + 47c tax. I was billed 47c each time since the rest was prepaid. Question, since only $42 of the drink gratuity was used. Who pocketed the rest? Given I only spent $210 on drinks it was actually more than 20% on what i used.
To be constantly pressured for tips when you already paid 20% is unreasonable
