Onboard Cruise Info | Tipping
Although tipping is not part of the Australasian culture
it has long been recognised as an accepted practice aboard
cruise ships (as it is in most service & hospitality
industries in the western world)
Each cruise line deals with tipping in their own way – some
include it in the fare, some require it to be pre-paid
prior to departing from New Zealand, while others have
a no-tipping policy altogether. By far the most common
policy now is to charge a set amount (that covers your
cabin steward, waiter & wine waiter) to your cabin
account. However it is important to note this amount can
be altered (down or up) depending on what you want to show
for the appreciation of service you have received.
Remember in most cases tipping is still discretionary. |
