I always just leave the automatic tips but the real question is why do cruise lines think employees who don’t directly interact with guests are tipped positions
If you go on the app, select the next the sailing, and look at the planner it should have an event on the first day that says “starlink now live” if it has it
All it takes is one bad experience. We had some tablemates that we couldn’t stand and actively avoided eating in the MDR on half of the nights so we wouldn’t have to eat with them. Since then it’s been My Time Dining every cruise. If we got paired up again I wouldn’t be surprised if they asked us to order them a second lobster 😏
I think some of you guys think a lot more thought goes into this than it does. It’s lonely all automated and guests are randomly assigned to whatever rooms are left over in the guaranteed category they booked
The easiest way if you’ve got nowhere to be is to wait until the end. This was an extreme example but when I was on the independence in august we did self assist debarkation and stood in line for over an hour and a half trying to get off the ship
Yeah you’re on a ship with 5000 other people, you’re not going to get radio silence outside of your cabin. But I’m my opinion if I have to strain to hear the neighbor’s music that’s not an issue

I don’t even know how so many of you guys can even eat second entrees. Usually by Day 2 on a cruise I’m already only alternating between “full” and “not that hungry”

It blows my mind that some people are willing to spend more for 8 hours at the beach club at coco cay than it costs for a night at a higher end all-inclusive resort. Its not even the money that's the issue to me, its the relative value
