I'm soon off to a one week hired cruise with a group of friends. None
of us have ever been on a hired cruise before and want to know the
etiquette involved in tipping the captain and a crew member. Assuming
they do a bangup job, what amount is appropriate to show gratitude? Do
I tip in cash directly to them or send a check to the business? Thanks
in advance.

Gary

15% in cash directly to the capt and crew is customary.
