From start to finish, if not I tip the others on their last day I'm on board.

All it takes is a moment, and it should be obvious I do mean above what the cruise line pays them.

I've talked with a few stewards and other cruise line employees over the years, they don't get enough as far as I'm concerned.

It's usually around $100 extra I leave on board.

I don't drink alcohol so I do have a little extra cash to play with.

I can imagine that they get stiffed now and then.

And when I go through an airport and have to use a chauferred wheelchair it's always 10 bucks for the attendant, you only live once.......
