madawa6 Posted February 4, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 4, 2012 We are sailing on Celebrity Summit in 2 weeks for the first time. We have never eaten outside of the MDR on our other cruises but I thought it would be fun to try Qsine. Are drinks extra there or is it included in your $40 dinner fee? Also...do you tip your server seperately from the rest of your tipping for the week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitty9 Posted February 5, 2012 #4 Share Posted February 5, 2012 And not even included in a beverage package. Why isn't the beverage package included ? They've always been included in the other specialty restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ghstudio Posted February 5, 2012 #6 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Drinks are not included in the "cover charge". Like every other dining venue or bar, your drink package certainly should be honored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like every other dining venue or bar, your drink package certainly should be honored. The special Qsine drinks are not covered by the cover charge or a beverage package. Regular drinks are. I should have specified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madawa6 Posted February 5, 2012 Author #8 Share Posted February 5, 2012 How about tipping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunCruiser56 Posted February 5, 2012 #9 Share Posted February 5, 2012 They do have a very yummmy sangria that is about $25 for a large pitcher. So fruity and delish, we wished we could order it in the main dining room or sent to our cabin. We just loved Quisine, our server was fabulous! Be open to trying things you would not usually go for it's all part of the fun! Bev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarylady19 Posted February 5, 2012 #10 Share Posted February 5, 2012 You can't even get wine...really? They do have a number of wines by the glass that are included in the premium beverage package. The sommelier was wonderful and kept our glasses full throughout the 3 hour meal. We ended up drinking a bottle of sparkling wine each, all included in package. We had prepaid for the meal but did leave a tip for the excellent servers.

Not for "tap water". There is a charge for bottled and sparkling water. One of the perks of the beverage package was being able to order pellegrino with each meal (as well as wine).

Gonzo70 Posted February 5, 2012 #13 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Regarding the tipping, a basic gratuity is included in the cover charge. Many people leave an extra tip if they feel they receive excellent service, but this is not required - if you choose to leave extra gratuity there is no right or wrong amount. Qsine was definitely my wife and mine favorite specialty restaurant that we have been to. Lots of fun; not just good food and service, but dining there is entertaining and whimsical.

Onelung Posted February 5, 2012 #14 Share Posted February 5, 2012 The cocktails in Qsine are also fun. They bring all the ingrediants to the table and show you how to mix them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they have things like sushi lollipops and fish and chips (outstanding) plus the great desserts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, they have Ceviche too:), along with fish&chips and sushi. They also the M's which are all sorts of dishes in Mediterranian style and you have choices.....olive tapanade and hummus for example. They also have veggies, they are lightly fried and served in what looks like paper cones. I think, although I don't know what you enjoy eating, you will have plenty of choices:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
