Anything provided in the cost of the cruise except the room steward service does not get a tip. Do not care what others think. We refuse to double and occasionally triple pay for items.
1:00 pm is 2.5 hours difference from 10:30 a.m. That could be the difference between making a flight and not. The OP is asking about a 10:25 flight. We were advised by our TA not to attempt it and we did not. Had a flight the next day at 9:30 that we made comfortably. This was on April 6 debarkation.
We just debarked in Sydney from another cruise line. It is very doubtful to make a 10:45 flight on that day. We took the transport to the airport then a shuttle to a hotel for the night. Then caught a morning flight the next day. Not worth the worry at the end of a cruise.
I would update all materials including brochures and web site to reflect current conditions.
I would tell all employees to only put out information that actually reflects current policy and operations.
I would require ALL ships to conform to stated operations and policies to make them standard across the fleet.
I would get rid of the Princess Plus and Premium programs and have one price for all for each cabin category.
I would terminate anyone who tries to instigate programs that do not benefit the company or its customers.
But then that is just me.
