Exactly. Do your own thing. Try and treat people right, but in your own way. I'm doing my own thing. What you do or have on doesn't matter to me. AT ALL. Lol.

Median means average. 2020 census $67,521.

The average income in the United States in 2022 is $64,214.

I'm seriously considering this now. Especially if it gets me better service.

Well the "system" also states you can remove them if you want. It's an imperfect system start to finish. This is like the main thing I hate about cruising.

I have never been told about possible supply on board. Think I would still bring to be safe. Such a pain since airline is charging me $40 a bag. But fan, shoes, etc makes for extra bag. Stopped doing formal night. Garment bag would be yet another checked in. Also too much work. Did that when I was younger. And yes, God Bless White Noise !!!!!!!

I always bring a small fan in my check luggage. Is this now a problem?

What's the best size foam topper to buy for a bed for 2 people. Queen, King, or would 2 Twins work best? (Since the beds are basically 2 Twins put together)

Are they full size thickness these days or like 2 inch think like in a sofa bed?

Does Oasis have USB port for charging phone? Is the cell phone cord with plug allowed anymore?

Everyone gets so crazy on this subject it really is hard to tell. Lol.

Oh I did not see the little smile face. If it was a joke I genuinely apologize. People here take tipping so seriously, I really couldn't tell. As far as thugs, I don't think it's harsh. They under pay employees and put us in the middle. It's handled horribly. But that is my opinion.

"Valuable service" "relieving us of the immense responsibility and enormous pressure of calculating and paying tips". OMG. I need hip boots to walk in that statement. Lol. I'm more then capable of handling that enormous task without there help. They are thugs.

In many places the word "Gratuity" is used and it's just so wrong. On top of cruise lines being thugs about the entire thing, people on here tell each other what to do and try to shame one and an other. It's just such a downer all around. And really no problem here tipping for good service. But when everyone from the cruise line to other passengers tells you what to do it leaves such a bad taste.

I think people knowing you tipped in advance and/or adjusted your tips is just wrong. To me it makes it a "Fee" not a "Tip". Kinda wish they would call it what it is. A Tip is something you give for good service at a suggested rate. Not something you are forced to pay and shamed if you don't. Apparently even put on a list for all crew to see. Feels like cruise lines are thugs and it's a shake down. I just think taking care of those who took care of you without being forced is so much more a class act.

Does the category of cabin play in the quality of the mattress? I went years ago on Royal inside cabin (Worst bed ever). 4 yrs later my mom went again without me and had an ocean view room and said it was a million times better. Now afraid I made a mistake.
