Mary, that's right. They figure that just by walking into the casino to get money, chances are good that you will drop some money there, sometime during the cruise.

We use the casino as our "ATM" during the cruise. This way, we can have money when go into port, and not have to keep too much in the cabin.

If they don't charge a fee, and simply add it to your shipboard account like a purchase, then I would be taking advantage of that just for the rewad points on my credit card.

We've had two cruises since we made our original comments, and haven't changed our view. Including the tip in the fare won't happen unless all the cruise lines agree to do it; and that's just the opposite of how things are going in the cruise industry. The trend is toward rockbottom fares, with more and more things treated as extra cost items.

As between the other two choices, for the two cruises since our response (HAL and Avalon Waterays), Avalon was true pooling of tips, which you could either pay in cash or put on your shipboard account. We also gave individual tips to our room stweard and the bar staff. Dining was a true team approach, so the pooling was appropriate. On HAL, we gave the standard tip plus individual tips.

We still haven't voted.
