While it is true that tips ad to the cost of a cruise, just add it to your planning, and be nice about it. And if you avoid some of the listed 'extras', it is not too costly. On our last cruise, we had the opportunity to talk at some length with our dining room waiter, and found out that people working onboard sign on for $50 a month, and tips! It is no wonder that they are so helpful and pleasant, as their existence, and their families, as well, depend on the tips they receive. And we have yet to find service personnel on board ships that are anything but more than helpful in taking care of any request you might make. Cruising costs are generally low enough that you can afford to be nice in return, and see that the people are properly tipped and thanked for the care they give.
