cruiser1177 Posted September 2, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Sorry i know there's like a million questions and answers on tipping already but i can't seem to get a firm answer as to whether the tips charged for drink includes soft and alcoholic drinks or just alcoholic drinks? Which drinks onboard are free and which are not? Thanks:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulcards99 Posted September 2, 2009 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Lemonade in the buffet, iced tea, not bottled water (which is still really really good), juice in the morning at the buffet....all free. Hot tea is free in your room... syrupy coffee in the buffet is also free. Soft drinks cost money....pretty sure there is a tip...but not much. Specialty coffees cost money and the freshly brewed coffee does too. Alcoholic drinks have a 15% tip included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which drinks onboard are free and which are not? Thanks:p Any beverage "served" to you by bar staff will have a 15% service charge tacked on. This includes beverages obtained with the soda card where the service charge is pre-paid when the card is purchased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
