If it is not specifically included in your Booking you will be charged a daily rate on your account automatically. In theory you may have the amount removed and pay the tips in cash. If you do plan on paying tips I don;t know why you would not just live the automatic tipping active. Its much more convenient than packing cash around ln the last few days. But if you run into problems with some staff and a re not happy you need to report the issue. In theory you could not tip at all and although it is not supposedly mentioned to staff I'm almost sure somehow that info get back to all your staff specifically your room guys. Who I have neve rhad an issue with and sometimes do tipp a few bucks cash here and there for extra items that occur as we age. OIts pretty well a captive form of getting more money to under paid staff but its usually earned in my experience. When booking a cruise always try to get at least some OBC (on board credit) built in if tips are no included. OR change travel agents. ??
