�Cruises have become more affordable and popular during the past 12 to 18 months. As a result, travelers and especially first time cruise passengers are unfamiliar with gratuity practices aboard a ship,� Travelers Advantage Vice President Julia Ryan said. �We don�t want to rock the boat, but we want to gauge what travelers tip the staff who serve the meals, clean the cabins and mix the drinks.�

�We also want to know if travelers realize that gratuities are a significant source of income for a ship�s onboard employees,� Ms. Ryan added.

The poll is open to all visitors at www.travelersadvantage.com who click on the �we want to know what you think� link and answer seven quick questions.
