Like some of the others, I’ve been an ocean cruiser up to now. When I am paying thousands of dollars for a vacation - and my enjoyment has been enhanced by the service - I don't begrudge the crew the equivalent of a day's tips (ie: less than $20). We look at what is suggested - and pay it (if the service has met our expectations) - or perhaps even more if the service was stellar.
No one knows what you have left as a gratuity - so not sure why people feel a need to explain. People will tip what they want to - and will often try to explain and/or justify their decision if it is less than suggested. I get combining first & last to equal one day, but if you completely write those days off (as suggested by Yggdrasil98 above) then you are not recognizing the work done to get you safely boarded, and then disembarked when the cruise is over. I have seen many passengers get off a bus and never leave a tip, so I would imagine there are people that do not tip (or tip much less than suggested) for the cruise itself. Even if you pay on board by credit card, you have to tell them how much you want to tip.
It is a suggested amount - and no way of knowing who paid- and how much - if you pay cash, and put it in the envelope. There is no "automatic" amount added to your on-board account as on ocean cruises (or at least this happened when we did the big ship cruise.). So the crew gets paid for every day even if every guests only pays for the nights on board. Somebody else stayed the night before I boarded, and somebody else is staying the night I leave. It is nice to know all that is taken care of before we board. And, only once had a cruise director that we didn't feel "earned his keep" -> but that was on Scenic, so gratuities included in the price. We will almost always pre-pay if it is an option (it wasn't, when we started river cruising.). Do you pay a conversion fee on your card? By pre-paying, you know what you pay, as it is in your home currency. You can always wait and pay on board - but then either need to have cash, or do a credit card charge. And, if you don't eat in the same zone in the dining room each night, you may not have a "main" waiter. If you tip your cabin steward and "main" waiter more, why not (just a suggestion here.) - put the money instead into the staff tip? The main waiter is only for dinner - and yet you will be eating 2 other meals/day with other wait staff. The "extra" day of gratuities (about $16 USD) does recognize the work done behind the scenes. Staff you are not aware of will be involved in many ways - serving wine, cleaning the interiors, transporting luggage etc. The amount for the staff is shared among all staff - except for the cruise director. is it for the ease of the tipping process? Or, is it to save a few bucks? Furthermore, we are aiming at female and male students.I guess it depends on why you are doing pre-paid gratuities. We are looking for a design that will reflect the international character speak to a young audience between 20-30 years and it should reflect professionalism.
