Major issue with staff receiving their tips
I was appalled to be told by our waiter that staff don’t receive any tips. $16 per person is added to your bill each night. There were 3,600 people on the Regal Princess for a 12 day cruise which would earn Princess an extra $691,200 just on this cruise. You can request this charge is removed and you can tip directly those hardworking staff which we did. It was noticeable that people didn’t tip their waiter on the last night, probably assuming they had already paid their tips. I emailed Princess’ CEO who has not had the courtesy to reply. Also beware of Sophie the vacuous Cruise Director that likes talking about tea and tells you to ‘drive safely’….????? Throwing paper aeroplanes is also not an activity I would want to take part in as part of the daily activities
