I don't remember for sure but I think NCCL had started that new thing where they bill you directly for the tips then distribute it evenly among the crew which is terrible because there is no incentive to give good service if they know their tip is going to be the same no matter what effort they make.
In 2002 with RCCL you could either tip yourself in a little tithing type envelope they provided or you could specify how much you wanted to tip each person and have it charged to your account. The tips were not shared evenly.
I think with Celebrity in 2006 you couldn't pay them yourself but you could direct how much each person got. I know for sure the tip was not split and shared.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
