My question - when we gave our waiter an envelope on the last night, would she know that it was in addition to the automatic gratuity, or would she think we were giving a sub-par tip? Does the crew see a list of who pays what through the automatic system?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24156199.post-1142746865566491592006-03-19T05:41:00.000+00:002006-03-19T05:41:00.000+00:00the idea of removing ourselves from the gratuity l...the idea of removing ourselves from the gratuity list is actually a better idea because i want to know that my money ends up with the people who have looked after me on my cruise. we are not cheap in fact pay just as much except want to know where my money is going. <BR/>i find your comments very offensive and think that you are the reason why people get off the list, to avoid there money going to crew like youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24156199.post-1142715146333164172006-03-18T20:52:00.000+00:002006-03-18T20:52:00.000+00:00Great blog!

I have really enjoyed reading your insights on the cruise industry - we always make it a point to talk with crew memebers on our cruises about where they are from, how is shiplife, etc. I cannot wait for your next installment!<BR/><BR/>Have you ever sailed Sea Princess?

I loved the little gal who kept our room so clean and orderly. She was from the Phillipines, spoke english very well, and had the most wonderful smile on her face no matter what time of day or night. I was really inpressed with her and the rest of the crew/staff. <BR/>It seemed that there were quite a few young people from Romania working on the ship. All so mannerly, spoke english well and as am american, it was fun visiting with them and learning about their lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24156199.post-1142655090733633692006-03-18T04:11:00.000+00:002006-03-18T04:11:00.000+00:00Thanks for the great info.
