  1. So I had a call from Carnival and they cancelled my 2021 cruise Carnival Spirit - May 30th, 2021 - 7 nights - The Great Barrier Reef.

     

    But that’s ok because we’ve booked a better one lol

     

    Carnival  Spirit - May 16th, 2021 - 13 nights - Brisbane to Singapore.

     

    if you didn’t mind updating the list please 😁

  2. I started reading this last night. Having never cruised but my mum who is a big cruiser has said lots about tipping.

     

    Having never worked on a cruise liner I have no idea on conditions or wages only of what people claim.

     

    I worked out for our up coming 7 night cruise with a family of 8, but only 3 of us over the age of 13 for tipping requirements on auto tipping lol is $180.00. ($7.50 x 3ppl x 8 days if that is correct) If I had to pay that for all of us I would either drop the price or only do it for my husband and myself. ($7.70 x 8ppl x 8 days $450.00) now that's a lot of shopping money lol.

     

    That lesser amount is certainly affordable even for my husband and I and our 6 kids. And we are only average Aussie earners with a mortgage. I'd be inclined to also tip those I feel have made my families trip that extra special.

     

    Regardless of cruise liner workes wages, home conditions, work conditions, no one should feel pressured or bullied into tipping. Everyone has their own personal reason why they do or don't tip, and should not be frowned upon either

    way.

     

    Thank you everyone for you comments was a good interesting read :)
