Cruise lines have different rules for gratuities. In some cases the gratuities are included in the price of the cruise, what is known as a cover charge in hotels and restaurants. With others it is the decision of the customer to pay gratuities for the services provided.
There will usually be a clause in the employees contract concerning gratuities.
Yes, you can refuse to pay daily gratuities on a cruise ship, but it's typically not a straightforward process. Most cruise lines automatically add gratuities to your onboard account, but you can speak with guest services to adjust or remove this charge. Keep in mind that many crew members rely on these gratuities for their income, so it's good to consider the impact of your decision on their earnings. Additionally, some cruise lines may have a no-gratuity policy in place, so it's important to check their specific policies beforehand.
Popularly, an on-ship cruise line employee is known as a "crew member," but may either be crew, staff, or officer.
It would depend on what your job is. A cruise ship employee may work for more than 8 hours a day and the schedule of their work could also be shifting.
