Tipping on board Golden Princess

[Kayebee71]

Question? This question has probably been asked on another thread, so I'm sorry for asking again. I'm travelling with a friend on board the Golden Princess on 8 January 2018 on a Adelaide to New Zealand round trip cruise. Do you have to tip or not? Or is a portion of the cruise fare considered a part of tipping? Yes, I am a first time cruiser, so just wanting to make sure I know before I cruise.

Cruises that start and end in AUS/NZ have tips included in the fare.

Thank you JF. I'd hate to upset anyone by not doing the appropriate thing.

No additional tips are required. :)

Extra tipping is not required. But we do give extra cash tips at the end of the cruise to the cabin steward, bar staff, or wait staff whom we feel we have been given exceptional service. And they appreciate it.
