I thought of doing that..but wondered if each day went by, the $10 was totally *removed* off my card? If not, then yes.. I guess we could do it that way... I was thinking more of getting it removed at the start, then getting the envelopes from the Purser so we could tip accordingly.. Its a shame really, that there is a *list* of auto-tippers... sort of makes someone feel at risk of getting foul things in your meals, etc.. sort of has me wondering if the risk is worth taking the cruise..
