 Cruise Diva Linda Coffman's Cruise Planner
Holland America Line describes their policy as "no tipping required" and some passengers take that literally to mean "no tipping"—conveniently ignoring the gently worded "required." On the other hand, let me relate my experience with a group of veteran cruisers—all of us on our first HAL cruise.
Our "tipping not required" policy ensures that the professional and gracious service you receive on board is truly sincere; that we are dedicated to providing the most relaxed cruise vacation, not simply providing service in return for tips.

 Alexander Cockburn: Tipping in America
Tipping is a paradox: formal yet informal, public yet private, commercial yet intimate, voluntary yet in reality so close to compulsory that most people, across the years, have little difficulty in remembering the times they felt compelled to leave no tip at all.
A tip must, however fleetingly, be the acknowledgement of a personal relationship, which is why the process can instill such panic in people plunged into a ceremony where much is uncertain and where only a special familiarity will teach one the proper mode.
Tipping is, after all, about the relationship between served and servant and should play no part in a free society of equals.

 Heinsville -- Home
Try to tip at belly level, and try to stay under the disc (I mean have your hand under the disc).
If the tip ends up with the disc coming back down at an angle then it's difficult to follow it up with more consecutive restricted tips without having to get the disc back on a nail delay or to do a "the" tip.
A "the" tip is the basic non-restricted tip done at stomach level without the tip being done from under a leg or behind the back.

As with many other forms of tipping, tipping at restaurants originally started as a means to subsidize income, but it is now taken for granted, and is calculated as part of a total income of a waiter.

 Starbucks Gossip: Tipping debate: How much should you tip for a cup of coffee?
The Starbucks Cards never hurt tips as much as credit cards do; in fact, I've had many people say they would leave a tip if only there were a way to do it on the charge slip rather than having to carry cash.
I tip based on service: was it fast, friendly, accurate, and did I actually GET the Tabasco I asked for, could I catch the wait-persons eye, get a frequent walk-by, a smile and how many stations was the wait-person covering.
