I think the difference between Australia and the UK is that Australians have the gratuities included in their cruise price whereas we in the UK don't so many choose to opt out. Surely on the ships that sail from Australia the crew are paid just as they would be if everyone paid the gratuities because in effect they have. 

 

Ah yes you are right about the gratuities being included in Australia. In theory yes the gratuities included in the fare should go straight to the staff. I'm sure 'inclusive of gratuities' pricing will come here soon.

I hope so, it seems to work well on both MSC and P and O who have both switched over to it in the last few years.
