It is shameful that you are foisting more Ugly Americans upon the world by encouraging travelers to be insensitive to other cultures. And that dig implying Joseph is "cheap." Did it make you feel good inside? Was it motivated by jealousy over the fact he has, in fact, taken the time to learn about world cultures so he can offer accurate, professional services to his travel clientele? Mean people suck, John. -- Diana Ball Austin, TX

After all, they are all from foreign countries as well. This needs to be more than a blanket statement in reference to tipping, the world is a big place. One size doesn't fit all. This we all discuss in detail with our clients. John

The subject you brought up in your original post was money affairs, including tipping, while OFF the ship in a foreign country. Other posters chimed in on the topic of tipping customs in foreign countries, including Joseph, who offered the proper advice to follow country custom. Contrary to what you suggest, tipping practices while ON BOARD a ship are properly governed by the ship's own guiding instructions, which are issued to level the playing field for the crew so they may reliably expect fair tip compensation from all passengers without regard to what individual passengers' country-of-origin tipping practices might be. Thank you for adding me to your, "I'll bet you're cheap" list. Mean people suck, John. -- Diana Ball Austin, TX

Mean people > suck, John. > -- > Diana Ball > Austin, TX Not off subject at all. Original post was about foreign money both on and off the ship and about tipping. Likewise, let's us not forget about the ship sponsored shore excursions as far as tipping is concerned. Do you want to go by the country policy you're in, or the ship policy you just mentioned? There is a lot more to this than just thinking we are honoring the country we are in. I've seen the same thing happen on Catalina Island, part of Los Angeles County. John |
