What is Crew Appreciation and how does it work?

Can I opt-out of Crew Appreciation as part of the package?  

Crew Appreciation is a daily amount automatically added to a guest’s onboard account. Guests who purchase either the Princess Premier Package or Princess Plus Package will automatically receive this benefit. Since it’s bundled with the package, it can’t be removed, exchanged, or refunded. It's a way to handle tips upfront, so you don't have to worry about it during your holiday.

Can I tip additional to a select crew member for extraordinary service?
