Reread my post. With the exception of mandatory gratuities on an included drink package, they don't. You, of course, don't have to accept an included drink package and therefore not pay any tips. For those instances where tips are solicited, you are free to tip or not tip and if you do tip, you can choose the amount. They provide a recommendation but you don't need to follow it. You can go on a cruise and not pay any tips at all, albeit that is a pretty despicable thing to do.
