Tipping is, and probably always will be, a much talked about issue, especially on cruises. With DCL's recent announcement that customary gratuities will be automatically added to each stateroom's account, the topic is likely to see even more discussion (and contention) online and among passengers and crew. I just listened to an interesting podcast from NPR's Planet Money about tipping. They discuss the history of the practice, and reveal some surprising relationships between level of service and amount of tip. For those who are interested, you can download it from iTunes; it's show number 283 from June 19, 2011.
