Very sorry to hear then. Perhaps all the others were European based cruise lines as tipping policies on all the mainstream ones advertised in North America (NA) are similar. I am Canadian but I am aware that tipping varies around the world as I lived in Australia and have visited many countries in Europe. NCL, as any other of the mainstream cruises serving NA, does not change its tipping policy when they change location. The information is readily available before booking. I guess it is a matter of buyer beware!
