I personally love to do my own tipping on the night before I disembark the ship. I go to all my favorite workers and tip them personally and I also buy them gifts that they can use when I go shopping in ports. I have bought them shoes, socks, personal hygine items for the girls, scarfs, jackets, gloves, jewelry, t-shirts that say Hollywood, etc. I have done that all these years. My understanding is that the $10 dollar fee is like a hotel resort fee and not to be used for tipping. I am not a cheap skate but I don't like it that NCL is charging money like a resort hotel. I would rather they include the fees as part of the price of the cruise. I think that is more honest. I always tip more than $10. per day. I am very generous because I know they are poorly paid.
I think I will go fight for the $10. resort fee and give it personally to my favorite workers when I go on my next cruise with NCL on Feb. 25th. I know how to be a real nag. I will nag them until I get the money. I will also write a cruise review. This will be my 4th cruise with NCL just because I liked the NCL Star ship. I know my friend and I will have lots of fun.
I think NCL cruise line has become disorganized and have strange policies. But I am giving them one more chance.
