I am quite happy to pay increases in baseline fares. I also believe that all these people are employed in cruise lines because of us fare paying customers and we should not feel guilty. I believe cruise liners are using gratuity as others means of making money. In any case I always tip handsomely to everyone Who gives outstanding services to equivalent amount to what cruise line charge.

So, as a matter of principle, you stiff the crew?

 

Do you agree that the fare would have to be increased by at least the amount of the service charges plus some other amount to offset taxes, etc.?

I think the gratitudes should come out from fares. Why should be subsidy the cruise line when they should be fair wages to their staff in the first place. On principle I always remove it and tip bartender etc and all those who has looked after us while on cruise.
