I am wondering if most people tip extra to their servers and room attendents for excellent service.    I have always done this, but know some people that do not, even when they have cruised over 20 times.  Am I the only one that feels that we should??   

YES

The cost varies by sailing, you will have to wait until you see the package offered in your Cruise Planner before you know the price.  Prices changes are unpredictable.

 

You will not be able to buy 1 Deluxe and 1 Refreshment using the Cruise Planner.  However, if you call to order, they have been allowing that combination.

if you buy the deluxe on board and its $65 per day does this include 18% gratuity ?

Bottom Line - Just wonder how many of those removing tips are simply doing so to cut their spending and making nonsensical excuses to justify their actions???  At the same time I wonder if they are spending big bucks on their drink packages and other goodies?

 

Hey look, the staff are on the ship, away from their families for months at a time, so that their kids can have a better future.  Shame on those who would deny them a better life so that they can have ten more martinis!

 

Sorry for the rant, but that's how I feel!

If they are spending Big Bucks on a drinks package,they are giving a BIG 18% gratuity.

ITS A PISS TAKE;p

P&O spirits are expensive,only 25 ml ,need a good pair of specs to see it in bottom of your glass, oh and if you want a mixer. Not as cheap as your led to believe.

Oh dear,I smoked a big fat cigar on my balcony ,I was with my 30 or 40 year old friends at the time.

Our neighbour complained to security,they came to our cabin and give me a warning.

Next night I smoked a big fat cigar on my balcony,:rolleyes: go's on and on and on.........Thank you for letting me share this

The same happens: double points and you get the taxes refunded

The taxes are shown separately over here too

Thank you:):)

Not sure what happens on a UK booking where the taxes are not split out (built into the fare) like on a US booking.

Thanks.Biker.

Thanks both for the info :)

What happens when 2 people book a cruise and only 1 shows up at the embarkation dock .

Gone quiet...must all be out eating burger and fries......;p

Thanks, TH does seem to have a negative vibe towards Brits.

Regards Graham.

He's a Viking,should love smelly fish.

He is talking about the new.

Fish&Ships restaurant on Independence of the seas which is on the pool deck.

We had the Scampi and Chips on boarding Independence in May and it was lovely.

I know what he meant Grapau,was just wondering if he knew. We were on Indy end of june this year not a bad chip shop for a yankie ship.Love your English breakfast pics yum yum...........Hocky pucs my arse ,not got a clue;p

Yeah there is really no such thing.....!:rolleyes:(y)

They put the Fish thing next to the pool on Indy so the Brits feel at home and have the smell...:D

What is a fish thing ?.

As Red Skelton said, "I just do 'em, I don't explain 'em". ;)

Who is Red Skelton ?

When you are compiling a list of oxymorons. :D

oh dear.

As Bette Midler used to say..."...if they can't take a joke". ;p

Are you fishing ?

You should just try it without any lessons first to see if it's for you. If you do want lessons, they are typically $70 when joining a group, or you can have the place all to yourself for $350, or $550 with a lesson.

Thanks Biker,it's not for me it's my son in law.

Can any one tell me if you can book the flow rider with tuition ,and what is the cost please.

Think poster called grampa has posted these pics ,first cruise after refit.

Got back off Indy 14 July ,we were on deck 12 inside in a new room .The room was very small,just bed' vanity unit hard back chair ,no chair or sofa and very small bathroom.Complete different layout than other room we have had before,open door wardrobe in front,bathroom to the left and bed to the right.After day 2 we asked to be moved because of noise from crazy golf directly above our room plus foghorn is above the room,second night foghorn was going off for 2 hrs, from 2am the room was vibrating.They did move us give us a future credit and we had a great holiday:)

They only charge when your in port:)

Whatever, it's way more than most of us work for less money :)

WHATEVER The op asked a question and has been blasted on here from a certain few,Can't afford to tip ,stay at home,and the old favorite stiffing.The op has probably worked his or her arse off to go on this cruise and then you expect him or her to pay someone's wages for the privilage,oh and don't assume how much money people earn.
