I asked at t he purser's desk if the staff got to keep their tips?  The answer was that the ten dollars is distributed to the dining room waiter and assistant waiter (how does that work on P.C.?) and the cabin steward, with a small amount going to Maitred, etc.  He said that the automatic ten dollars is pooled.  He said that even if people took the automatic ten dollars off of their bill, and tipped individually, the crew usually pooled that money, too.  The only money they could keep, without pooling, was money given above and beyond the ten dollars a day.  We tipped a small additional amount to our wonderful wait staff, and cabin stewardess......
