Are GRATUITIES On A Cruise GETTING Out Of Hand? - Our Real Costs Living Full Time On Ships
I live on cruise ships 365 days a year with my husband Kirk. We've been full-time ship residents since late 2022 — which means I've paid daily cruise gratuities every single day for over 3 years. In this video I'm giving you 5 things cruise lines don't tell you about gratuities — including the math on what Kirk and I have actually paid over 3 years (hint: it's the cost of a new car), who this money actually goes to, and exactly what we do about it. We don't vacation on cruise ships. We LIVE on them. Ship hopping from sailing to sailing with no home base and no mortgage.
