Given that cruises are international, not every country has a custom of tipping, and American tourists are cheap, is it unreasonable to recommend a tipping level?
I have no idea how much it costs to provision wifi for several thousand people on a ship, much less contract with a satellite provider for that much internet bandwidth, do you?
Cruising is not inexpensive and I'm sure the company makes money but are the prices exorbitant or is that just what it costs to provide the service?

Virgin Voyages eliminated tips for all essential services. Of course they cover these in other ways, but it is nice to not worry about the proper amount to tip. Prices for drinks is comparable to an upper end bar or restaurant. Food is all served in regular restaurant style setup with individual tables instead of the buffet style or 20 passenger table situation. Also, they do not allow kids so it is an all adult cruise. Virgin is my goto cruise line.
