Cruise gratuities are part of the tipping culture on cruises. But has it gotten out of control? Cruise passengers speak out about pre-tipping, tipping extra, service fees, delivery fees & more...

The topic of cruise gratuities is always a bit controversial. However, cruise travelers have genuine questions about who to tip on a cruise, if they are expected to give extra tips for cruise ship crew if they have a cruise package which includes gratuities.

In cruise news this year, we've seen cruise lines increase gratuities several times. This includes major cruise lines including Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), Princess, Celebrity & more. There is definetely tipping fatigue.

If you're a first time cruiser, this video is full of cruise tips & information you can use.
