Millers

Unfortunately P and O seem to think that once you get over 60 your musical taste disappears and we morph into our parents, ballads, crooners, show tunes, etc. Now there is nothing wrong with that. But at 68 I still like something more livelier, I still play in a rock and roll band.it is difficult, but I get a little fed up of hearing someone direct from the West End singing the usual easy listening stuff. However, the standard of entertainment is good and I do, in the main, enjoy them. But please, P and O, don’t assume because I am seen as ‘Over the hill’, that I want lift music all the time. As I said, before someone jumps on me, it is difficult to please everyone, and P and O have to try and hit the middle line.

Thought the ship looked hideous, as though they had just plonked the top bit on top. No sleek lines, just not attractive to look at. The organisation looked very good. But this is what puts me off the larger ships, but then they are not aiming at my age group. The entertainment group certainly earn their money.

The dress codes are part of what attract us to cruising. We enjoybeing, and seeing everybody else, in their finery. The codes are made clear in the brochures and  every travel show. If people don’t want to dress up, fine, but accept that the majority of others do. Alternatively don’t cruise.

Similarly, those who didn’t get OBC and were still tipping, were doing so out of their own pocket, NOT using money that was given to them by P and O

As are those who raise the same points on every tipping thread time and time and time again!!!!

 

 

 

Please, let’s not turn this into yet another round of circular arguments about tipping. It’s now completely futile. P&O has now made the decision for us. There is absolutely nothing to be gained by any further debate on the pros and cons, distribution or anything else about service charges on P&O as they will no longer exist.

 

 

 

The only issue that remains is whether or not some passengers may choose to tip some of the staff who have gone ‘over and above’ some cash. That is entirely a matter for those passengers and nothing to do with anyone else. To try to make an issue out of that is picking an argument for the sake of it.

Well said

Really

 

What part of the UK are you talking about? It’s very much accepted everywhere I have lived - and do you know what it makes us nicer people

 

The fact is that some in the service industry have jobs with zero hours and minimum wage and tipping them - provided you have had good service - is the norm

 

 

 

Getting fed up the way some cheapskates try to justify their behaviour. Can afford TAG watches but won’t give a waiter a few pounds. You must be really proud

What a pompous response. I have lived all over the uk and tipping has never been expected. Lots of people work for minimum wage and don’t get a tip. Where has TAG watches come from.

Tipping is not an accepted culture in the uk.

Why should we tip the hairdresser. Why do people,only want to tip certain trades. Why do we tip, and if we do why do certain people have to brag about it. It is nobody else’s business, if you do it fine, you don’t have to tell the world about it, if you,don’t once again that’s fine. All this rubbish about subsidising other peoples cruises is just plain daft, silly and childish.

People who don’t get obc, and not everybody does, are subsidising those that that do get it. Those that don’t get obc pay their tips out of their own money, not money that has been given to them,by P & O

Ok, boys and girls, time to put your toys away. You have a nice long play and you are all getting tired. It’s school in the morning. Say night-night to everyone and by the morning you will have forgotten what all the fuss was about. Bless.

I read your link and I copied this from it. So do you still think it acceptable to remove the tips because it doesn't seem fair to the crew.

 

Between the greedy cruise executives and the miserly passengers who remove the gratuities, the hard working crew members seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place.

You still seem to think that those who remove tips are miserly. We remove tips, and tip accordingly. It may not be how you do it, please don’t judge others by what you do.

Excellent, what I have said all along.Wait for the do-Gooders

My point was, that a number of people assume that those who take the tips off don’t pay anything. But, like the current trend seems to be, this is also a dig at P and O to sort it out

As I will continue to pay the auto tips, you will be pleased to know that I will continue to use those terms to describe non tippers!

The difference between Jet2 and RyanAir

Sent from my iPad using Forums

Got cancelled on the Thursday until Friday. But Jet2 were excellent, put us into a hotel in Toremolinos, bed breakfast, evening meal even a free bottle of wine each, took us back to airport Friday afternoon and then gave us 15€ each to buy food.

It’s amazing how many of the die-hard auto-tippers, are now saying they are going to take them off. I wonder if they will get called tight-wads, scroungers, mean etc as others have been called who said they took the auto-tips off, and paid accordingly.

How do we really know how much the crew are paid? Is it our job to pay their wage? Do we ever hear the crew complaining? P and O are the guilty ones here, not the passengers

If only they did.

If only you knew what people did

He can with all the tip money he doesn't give to the crew lol

Now that is typical of the egotistical, self-importance of the so-called ‘royalty’ on this board. Perhaps you could prove your statement. I said I would tip what I want, not that I wouldn’t.[emoji14]
