I can say categorically that I have never been on one of those

As a musician, I know a musician who was on a cruise ship. A blues
wailer, and picker, he worked 8 hours of music every day, conducted
lifeboat drills, made beds, moved laundry, and bussed rooms for
another 8. He was on call at any time. His boss decided if he
needed sleep. No sex, no dope, no drink, no shore leave, so his
money didn't last long once back shoreside, and he'll never do it again.

Why tip him? Or any one pressed to such extremity?


Er, umm... we were talking about tipping the charter company crew.
