In the cache: mandatory tipping
The cruise staff was very kind, but the company's policy of milking the customer under various pretexts is disgusting. 1. If someone does not drink alcohol, for a one-week trip he has to buy a package of soft drinks for 200 euros so that he can be served with a glass of tap water at dinner. You got it right! You are not served tap water, and a glass of still water costs you 3.5 euros. 2. apart from the expenses shown, on the ferry you find out that you have to pay an official tip of 11 euros per day... It is deducted from the card you register with them. 3. The service is quite impersonal. 4 Excursions on land such as short trips are presented bombastically. On the spot, however, you often encounter bored guides, lack of attention and carelessness on the part of the organizers. Burn-out and sadness at crowded and overexploited tourist sites (at least in the case of the Carribbean islands)
