Don't think anyone was saying "mandatory" tipping just saying you should factor the tip into your costs. Understand everyone doesn't have extra income but with most fares around $90 bucks not hard to come up with $18 more in any economy.

Of course if the service isn't up to par you put it back in your pocket or give it to the good mate, its ALAWAYS a CHOICE on a boat, an eatery, an uber etc etc. BUT when you get that good service be prepared to tip that service.

Knowing you have worked on boats and always respect, read your posts what about when you did 12 hours, got people off the bottom, untangled them, retied their rigs, netted and cleaned their fish, then cleaned up the trash they left behind and they complained and walked off stiffing (you) the mates?

Cant resist: I thought this was the bestest, most greatest. beyond belief economy in 6 months since the beginning of time ! LOL Everything the cheapest , lowest ever.
