Causes. The harmful bacteria that cause bacterial joint inflammation can enter your body via the skin, eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and mucous membranes. Some of the types of bacteria responsible for causing this infection include: 1  Staphylococcus aureus, which causes staph infections.
Same deal at the end of the cruise. If you use the cruise terminal's porter services to help you get your bags to a taxi, a bus, or your car, the standard tip is $1 per bag. If you happen to be in your cabin when your bags are delivered the afternoon you embark, there is no obligation to tip the crew member.
On Board with Savings. The cost of onboard perks, such as alcohol, spa days and casino nights, can really add up on a cruise. And when you combine these extras with the automatic gratuities for your steward and wait staff, the cost you pay at disembarkation may exceed what you paid for the cruise itself.
