1st off i am and wll tip... But what if someone don't tip? Do they get out on a list or something so thay can't cruise again or is nothing done and the severs are out of luck? I am just wondering
Your table mates will loathe you, and treat you like the cheap skate you are! They then will band together and make up your missing tip, because they feel bad for the wait staff.
Take my word for it, it happened to us on several occasions
The non-tippers were usually the most demanding, which made us even more furious.
On the last morning the captain will get on the p.a. system and say something to the effect of this:
" Good morning ladies and gentlemen. This is the captain speaking from the bridge. I have a list of the stiffers ( non-tippers ) and their cabin numbers that I will now read. "
At the completion of his list boos and hisses will be heard from all but a few and those few will have very red faces.
In a perfect world you would get terrible service if you don't tip, but unfortunately the staff don't know you're going to stiff them & they treat you like gold the whole cruise anyway.

Why dont they just add it to the cruise fare and let these workers make a living wage?
I would cheerfully pay more to cruise knowing they didnt have to prance around for a little something, and if they have to many complaints about service reprimand them like any other employer would.
