The $10 service charge (gratuity) per day helps NCL spread the largesse more democratically. In the dining rooms or at the bar, you may tip your waiter and he/she (in theory) passes along some of that tip to the busboys. However, there are many people whose service is just as important -- in the buffet or at the poolside barBQ -- who aren't usually tipped. These and similar service personnel contribute directly to serving you, but we seldom think about tipping outside the standard dining-room & bar environment. With NCL's $10-per-day, this extremely modest gratuity is spread more equitably among a larger number of employees who attend to your needs -- some of whom you never come in direct contact with.
