Appreciate your feedback.

The cruise line should pay better wages for their staff so that this does not become an issue! Gratuitys should be a reward for good or great service. Not something to enable the company to pay less for the hard working employees

Gratuities that the staff receives are very minimal for the hard work they put in.

Standing in line is how it is. The emoyees work 12hrs a day 7 days a week. Have some empathy for them. If you can. Thanks for being honest.

Can you remove prepaid bar gratuities? That's good to know.

You can opt out by going to Customer Service and telling them to remove them from your account.
