My wife and I are going on a cruise around the med in just over a week with royal caribbean,in the paper work they send you it states :we recomend you leave gratuities of $10 per day per person: for your maid and waiter we can take this and put it on your account at the start of your cruise or add it at the end.You see this is much better it takes all the guess work out of it.I hope it dosn,t catch on in the hotels in Cyprus

Your guess is as good as mine I like to leave a tip for maids and waiters for good service but you don,t get a choice with this

Thanks...Thats the feeling I got.
