Well, if they turn in the money as people have said, wouldn't they be required to turn in the money I over tip either way??? I'm a liitle confused there?

Because I feel like if get great service and want to give my waiter $50.00 or $60.00 at the end of the week (and bartender, and waiter assistant, and steward, and matre di, and etc.) then I should be able to. I don't want to tip someone who knows they are getting tipped, no matter what they do. If I go to a restaurant I don't tip the waiter three tables over, I tip my waiter.

I feel I am a big tipper and tip very well for service. I like to personally tip for good service and to have a connection to the people I am tipping. I am now going on a Carnival Cruise that is pre paid tipping, but they say you an adjust the tips up or down. Can I go and move that $12 or $13 a day down to like $5 a day and tip the people who help us out as I normally would? I know I will spend more by tipping people individually and generously, but that's the way I like handling it.
