Tipping can be a thorny issue on cruise ships. I've never considered removing the automatic gratuities but will also cash tip directly for exceptional service much to the horror of certain members of the "cruise community." The bothersome busybody who scolded me for cash tipping a bartender was bluntly advised to MYOFB.
