Tipping on Cruises - A Very British Guide to tips, gratuities and service charges on cruise ships.

The British are generally uncomfortable with tipping. It is a slightly alien concept and when faced with the question of what to tip and who to tip on cruises it can make the average British cruiser uncomfortable. In this video we look at the current state of tipping which even the Americans describe as 'out of control' and how we got to this point. So whether it is a tip, service charge, gratuity or crew appreciation come along with us as we navigate the pitfalls of tipping so that we can tip with confidence together. Knowledge is power, so we look at the policies of the major cruise lines that British cruisers will generally use, including Cunard, P&O, Marella, Ambassador, MSC, Royal Caribbean, Virgin etc. We also look at what some of the major UK cruise vloggers have to say about tipping including Tips for Travellers - Gary Bembridge, Emma Cruises and Cruise With Ben and David. We also reveal the kind of tipper who annoys Giles the most! #tippingculture #tipping #gratuities #servicecharge #outofcontrol
