Tipping Tips - Cruise Tips
No wonder people get confused about tipping. Cruise line tipping policies are not all the same. Some lines now automatically add tips to your shipboard account: Carnival $9.75 per passenger per day, Norwegian and Princess $10 per passenger per day. You can adjust the amount up or down based on the service you receive, but have to go to the purser's office to do so. read more

The companies say such programs spare passengers the confusion of figuring out who gets what and the hassle of juggling money. Cynics may suspect the real purpose is to shanghai your wallet, but in fact, the amounts charged are close to what travel agents recommend customers tip anyway. read more
International Rules of Tipping
Rule #1
Tipping is voluntary (but often expected, regardless of the quality of
service).
Rule #2 Rule number one is relative. In many countries the salaries of
certain personnel (waiters, doormen, bellhops, and room service staff in
particular) presuppose their receiving tips. Tips to them are as serious
as your paycheck is to you. In many places, a service charge is added to
hotel and restaurant bills, and, as in France, sometimes the charge is
not included in the food prices. Ask if you are not sure. The key is
fairness, both to you and the person serving you.

Tipping Tips from Europeans
We've asked some of our European friends for their tips on tipping, and here's what they'd like you to know before you go... In a restaurant the tip like you have in the states is included, but it's usually to give a little tip if you think the service, the meals are okay. I go to a restaurant and the whole bill is €35, and the service was friendly I give €38 or €39. If I just drink a coffee for €1,90 I'll give €2 and not €2,10. The waiters are more friendly the next time when you come to that restaurant. read more
