  1. Actually, it doesn't. (This is final night of the first leg of this cruise.) Once again, I handed cash to each of the folks that I most interacted with over the last seven days. And I asked each one how they felt about the crew fund. Each one of them told me that the crew welfare fund was a joke; that the fund was NOT disbursed to the crew members, but instead it was used for crew "parties" that was not of any use for crew members that didn't like parties and that they vastly preferred direct funds that could be used for their families.

    I mean, I get it that under some weird view, it *does* effect cooks and seamen that wouldn't otherwise get anything, but what they get isn't money, it's a 2-hour "party," much like our Captain's Welcome Party.

    If the crew welfare fund was money that was split among the crew, I'd be all with you, but the crew doesn't appreciate it *nearly* as much as a little cash.

    Siverseas explicitely says " no tipping!" To flaunt $100 bills to all is to me outrageous!
