Thank you for proving my point
optional, at my discretion
port fees - can’t be removed - cost of cruising
taxes - can’t be removed - cost of cruising
bar tip - can’t be removed - cost of cruising
daily automatic gratuity - can be removed - not a cost of cruising
You are completely discounting the fact that the cruise line allows for no questions asked removal of the automatic gratuity. This SCREAMS “optional policy”
We have all had employment contracts that have a guaranteed salary component and a bonus component.
One should never EXPECT the bonus.
If you aren’t good with the guarantee then you shouldn’t sign the contract.
No I am not that fortunate to spend that much consecutive time on a ship, and frankly have absolutely no desire to get that personal with any of the crew.
Sorry if I mis-quoted you on the $25 post, my bad.
sorry, no.
No one here believes that a room steward showed you such a list.
Regardless, my reply to the misleading post was that your "friend" told you that they were only paid $25 per week; perhaps I quoted the wrong post.
