Tipping on a Cruise

How much should we tip is a common question from cruise newcomers..

A few cruise lines do not encourage tipping, including Paul Gauguin Cruises, Regent Seven Seas, Seabourn, Sea Dream Yacht Club and Silversea.
Crew members are said to be higher paid and not tip dependent.
Many passengers tip anyway for outstanding service or special favours.
