How do the crew divide the tips?
Is it like a mom and pop restaurant, all tips go into the jar and divide by 5 employees?
Does my 18 dollar per day per person go directly to my cabin steward and waiter? Or is it combined all together and divided by 2000 employees?
So the people who have the genie give him 1000 dollar tip so he has to put it in the pot to divide with 2000 other crew?
If it is all put together, then me not doing autograts and giving 50 cash dollars total will not be even noticeable to the crew. Just, do not know how my stateroom will treat me if he knows what I am doing. But again, I am paying for his services in my cruise total fees.
