When it comes to manners you will want to remember that you are on a cruise. You are going to have people with you that love you and do not know you. It is important that you keep your manners in mind for the sake of all the others on the ship. Keep in mind that you should consider these people a part of your temporary community. There are many people who would like to enjoy the cruise and you will want to keep everything the respect and right to enjoy themselves on the cruse. You will want to follow some of the following rules so that you can show some decency while on board.
First, you will want to tip the wait staff and the maid at a hotel, and you should do the same on the ship. You have paid for everything, however, how would you feel if you were waiting on someone hand and foot and they didnt give you a tip? You would feel horrible and unappreciated. You will want to have polite service and for you to get that, youll need to keep them happy. With a happy wait staff youll be able to thoroughly enjoy your cruise
You dont have to tip any of the passengers that help you, but a little bit of courtesy can go a long way. You dont want to cut in line or interrupt...
