You can always visit a specialty as you like. UDP isn't the only choice. Its too much food for us, so buy a 3 night on 7 night cruise and 5 night on 14 night.
Sorry you are confusing the standard drink receipt verbage with what happens with a voucher drink. A dollar or 2 for each of 5 drinks a day isn't enough for me to take a chance on the hardworking bartenders not being compensated. It's not like any of them are over paid.
Yep, no tip on voucher drinks. Sharing in tip pool is not the same as receiving a tip from the person using the voucher. And, if it's a zero receipt any compensation from the employer calculates to zero. The 18% info printed on the receipt is probably on every bar receipt.
Only that someone said it on here. No one at Royal calls her that. But we the stretched Grandeur, having sailed her before and after many times. It's worth a sailing to see if you can figure out where the added center part starts and finishes.
Sure, I get it. I forget that we are not all retired here. But I have younger friends who work but will not consider a cruise of less than 12 nights and prefer 14. Their thinking is to average the flight cost over more days.
