My take is those people, and I don’t care if they work in the rooms, the restaurants, or clean around the ship, or wherever, are some of the most hardworking people I have ever seen. And all hours. I remember seeing a waiter we had at dinner cleaning tables at breakfast in the buffet the next morning. All they do is work! The gratuity is splits between all of them, not just given to your steward. Or your waiter. I always give extra to our steward, as they are who we interact the most with. We always have ATD so never have the same waiters so no extra tips there. I will NOT be removing anything! I just look at it as part of the cruise price. And shame shame shame on those who remove and don’t tip anything, or leave $20 and think they are good.
