Re: tipping. While the pre-paid fee is EXTREMELY reasonable, dare I say cheap, I like to tip those that deserve it and pass on those who fall short. Taking a fat bundle of two dollar bills allows me to pay as I go each day and the hard-working underpaid Phillipenos seem to appreciate the cash whenever they get shore leave. The cabin person and the bartender are each started off with five bones the very first time I meet them - it's worked out very nicely for us.

I've had very good response with decent tipping. Tip well, and your cabin attendent will make it the best trip of your life.
