You don't tip 20% of your cruise cost. Gratuities are about $11.00 per day for those that get them.
Drink tips etc. are 15 - 18 % of the cost.

Come on we are talking about the $499 4 night advertised cruise that fills the Sunday paper and your email. It's just like I said they have to put an asterisk next to that like the car dealers do - excludes tips, gratuities, transportation, etc. I'm not saying don't do it just don't expect to pay $499. I like a cruise. It's not my cup of tea to do it many times per year. We probably go once a year and when I do I don't watch what I spend with a calculator. I do what I want and enjoy myself.
