One reason that cruise prices are cheap is that your tips effectively pay most of the crew's wages.
Rather than dismissing the idea of cruising altogether, just add $12 per person per day to the quoted cost and see how that looks to you.
The tip is automatically added to your bill, but you can take it off. However, that would not be fair on the crew as they receive very little in actual wages from the company.
