I pre paid when it said included. Now it will have a service charge tacked on when I dine in Feb.
Not worth the bother to me. I prefer to give cash gratuities directly to servers.
Hi,
we also booked the S9 suite and the article: Cruisebyamber
has been very helpful.
It was written in May ‘23.
it says the Signature Sun Deck is adult only. ( at this time)
cannot post a link- google it - Sun Princess Signature Suites- cruisebyamber
Listen,
I am not advocating that anyone do anything.
From my understanding there is no longer a tipping pool from the Crew Appreciation Princess collects now. It has become revenue that pays salary & bonuses - to whom I don’t know.
I started writing up crew appreciation messages and handing them in to Guest Services before the end of the cruise. Hope crew received some recognition for that.
Like you, as Canadian it is easier for me to leave it as is, and I prepay.
But, I don’t like how the crew are not getting this money as tips, in addition to salary.
It is still a choice. I can see it becoming mandatory
