Hello to all and thank you for posting. I have never done a cruise before and I'm going on the Oceania South America cruise in 17 days. Vacations I have taken in the past have been all inclusive such as Club Med. What is the protocol for tipping? I noticed it says in the brochures Etc that tipping is not included do you tip for each service? Or do you tip at the end of the cruise? Any insight would be helpful I feel a little stressed about it
