Why do RC charge more for tips if have an ocean view upwards than an interior?

 

Surely do same amount of work

I don't believe they do. They charge more for a suite. Bigger room, more details to attend to....

The tip is 13 bucks a day for all rooms except suites, which are $16. Where are you getting the information that ocean view rooms pay more in tips?

They only charge more for tips if you have a full suite, which is significantly larger than a standard cabin and includes some additional services.

There's no difference in recommended tips for an Oceanview vs an Interior cabin, or for a balcony - all of those are considered 'standard' staterooms. The higher rate you saw is what's recommended for Suites. Here's what the RC website says:

 

Effective on cruises departing on or after May 1, 2016, Royal Caribbean will automatically add a $13.50 USD gratuity for standard staterooms, $16.50 USD for Suite guests, to each guest's SeaPass® account on a daily basis.

that is great. they work hard for their tips. and it should say----"ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, FOR ANY REASON, TRY WHAT YOU MAY BUT THEY WILL NOT BE REMOVED"

if you can afford to cruise, you can afford the tips.
