How much and who on your cruise should be tipped? When and how should tips be given? Guidelines will be repeated onboard, probably by your ship's cruise director. Gratuities are always placed in envelopes from your cabin's stationary supply. Passengers on cruises of 10 days or less will tip at the end of the cruise. On longer voyages, tipping weekly may be the norm. Some cruise lines charge gratuities to your account automatically. Norwegian, for example, charges $10 per day, per guest, to cover service in the dining rooms and your room steward. On some cruise lines you are not required to tip. Your cruise director will advise you on this.
