<br />
Different cruise lines have their own "tipping guidelines" that they use to charge you. Most charge on a per person/per day basis. With all of the people that expect to be tipped, this can get really pricey -- especially for large families. <br />
<br />
Cruisers should know that a quick trip to the Purser's Desk can have those gratuities removed from your bill, and you'll be free to tip deserving persons accordingly.</p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.gadling.com/2010/02/20/cruise-tip-manage-your-gratuities-carefully/">Manage your gratuities carefully - Cruise tip</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.gadling.com">Gadling</a> on Sat, 20 Feb 2010 07:52:00 EST.
