I think you mean NCL. They charge your credit card up front for
gratuities. Royal Caribbean does not charge you for gratuities. It is
completely voluntary, though you may elect to put the gratuities on your
credit card, there is no reason you can't give cash or not at all.
As for terrible service the worst shipboard service and most
inefficient, ill-trained crew was aboard my last NCL cruise to Alaska in
July of 05. Turned me off the line for keeps. We were constantly
assaulted with sales announcements on the PA, the Freestyle dining was a
nightmare and the one time we went to a specialty restaurant the service
was non existent.
The service aboard that ship was so awful that I went to the purser and
asked that the gratuities be credited back on my charge card. They did.
I believe that gratuities should be earned by offering good service. I
got none aboard the NCL ship and I wasn't going to pay for bad service.
