I was on Britannia last Christmas for a 2 week cruise which can cater for up to 3647 people Charges at the time were £5 per day per passenger except children under 12. So for example take off 647 children which reached no where near that level but makes the maths easier. 3000 x 14 x 5 equals £210,000 per cruise. Usually about 1350 crew which means that each should get about £155 per 2 week cruise. If you look at what generally a cabin would pay about £140 per 2 week cruise than each cabin pays for 1 crew members gratuity.

Now forget the maths I would rather that each crew member was paid a reasonable wage and that cruise liners charge prices to match that ideal. If I should then wish to tip an individual I would do so, also for those forgotten people who do not always get any praise there should be a central place where you can contribute cash for sharing if you feel that inclination.

Just booked for Christmas 2016 and after reading your blog I am looking forward to the cruise even more so thanks and a Happy New Year to you
