I don't mind tipping . In fact I am one of those who also tips dining room waitstaff and cabin personal. The thing that bothers me the most is the charge for room service. Cruising was famous for complementary room service. They new room service charge is insane. I I was on a Celebrity Summit cruise a few months ago and they charged me $9,00 to which I was expected to add a tip. I don't think Carnival is charging as I have not been charged on the QM2.I am sure it is coming. I won't sail with any line that charges for room service Period
