Since you will probably take all your meals in 1 MDR I would give the tip envelope to the MDR manager to distribute. That is what we do to tip out the servers in Sabatini’s for suite breakfast
Because I am very tired with people advocating dumping tips and actuality saying out loud when I hand my bartender an envelope telling me I am an idiot
The post I responded to had to do with booking this through their TA and seeing the charge on their invoice. It sounds like they are paying for something that may not even happen
The number of evenings that it is offered depends on chef and how many sign up. If they cancel it do you get your money back ? We stopped going years ago because it is way more food than we can eat and way expensive. We much prefer the Tuscan luncheons and other wine centric meals offered on board.
We always take Plus because we like our cocktails and it saves us lots of money. W still get envelopes and tip out extra to steward, wait staff and favorite bartenders. Believe me when we see those people on a future cruise they do remember us and get incredible service
Nothing would mollify most. They just don’t want to pay or they would be passing out tips to every person the the buffet who fetched them that free cup of coffee or the person who hands them a sandwich in the IC
This argument has been going forever. Back in the day the MDR would be empty on last night as people went to the buffet to avoid the wait staff. Now they simply line up at guest services to remove the tips. Same people different method of avoiding paying tips.
Yes but wages in restaurants are very low some all the way down to the minimum allowed by law. There is no deception. Many restaurants now just raise their prices or add the gratuity to the bill so people will pay tips. I assume no one who objects to tips on this thread ever goes to a specialty restaurant since there is now a 18% tip added. If any of you do frequent these restaurants then I assume you know you are being hypocritical
Ever cruise is different. You will almost always have some vibration when you come in to port. Movement will depend on the seas. Sometimes smooth other times it could almost shake you and wake you up. Worst seas we have had are on Hawaii and TransAtlantic cruises
That is a lot of questions. If you order from the door hanger no charge. If you order through room service or the app there may be charges for ordering depending on your package. Some food items have a price but will be listed
Princess did not arrange my hotel pre or post cruise. They did not arrange my flight home. I would not expect them to get me home if I am injured When I was quarantined in Canada with Covid after a cruise I was in my own to get home If you get sick in Europe do you expect them to get you home ?
