Yes I have heard the stories about how people give 20 ---25 --or more percent as a tip. I congradulate them. On a cruise ship I am often asked should we leave something extra knowing the tips are already included in the cruise fare. I always say " you tip what you are comfortable in tipping...your under no obligation..but if the server provided you good service they should be rewarded..the amount is up to you. "
We are all adults and should know what the (tipping) customs are here in the US...yes it can be difficult when people from other countries visit the US or when americans visit foreign countires but its unfair to highlight Canadians in your example for it could apply to Brits, all Europeans and Asians or even
AMERICANS.
The system is wrong and just like how we pay income taxes in america, so are our tipping policies and I dont expect a change in the near future.. All I can do is control my own actions..and thats what I do.

Really? I've been on a number of cruises and tips were never included in the cruise fare. You can have them added to your cruise cost at $XXX per day, or you may chose to tip on the last day of your cruise. I guess Viking or Crystal may include all gratuities in your cruise fare, but Princess, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean??? Not that I know of!
