I just did a cruise. On the last day you receive a statement indicating they have automatically charged an arbitrary service gratuity. I don’t even remember how much. Not small.
This is the best part.... simultaneously they give you a couple envelopes for tipping the cabin person, wait staff extra. Huh?
In one hand I’m holding the auto-tipping bill and in the the other I’m holding envelopes. They can fuck off. I’m done cruising. The incessant hustle is off-putting.
Druff, has anyone gone to Guest Services and had the charge successfully removed?
