I don't disagree with the increase, however, I normally do have them remove the gratuities from my account; not to get out of paying, but I prefer to pay the gratuities in person and make sure the workers I have been in contact with are the ones that are getting the money. We have always paid the suggested amount, and many times more. We have also spoken to a few of the waiters on previous cruises and they also prefer getting paid in cash, because by paying the gratuities on your account, they have to wait sometimes a couple of weeks before they get paid.
