I agree with everything you said. In 1975 I took a 7 day cruise from NY to Bermuda.

Back then, HAL advertised a "no tipping" policy.  Passengers still left cash tips

at end of cruise.  I don't think I got credit for those 7 sea days because it was 

so long ago.

I don’t think they ever had a no tipping policy.  I think it was tipping not required and I’m sure this lead to a lot of confusion.

Just to add to this tipping discussion, I see no need to tip bartenders extra. I never order those fussy drinks, and the most they ever do for me is take the bottlecap off a beer bottle or pour me a glass of wine.  I think 18% automatic tip is more than enough here.

It did back then!
