gratuities + shots prices ?

[falados99]

So my friend and i wondering what are the prices of the shots on the voyager and the 15% say for 11 days how much would this rack up ?

[pennielz]

Shots, 1 1/2 ounces, range between $7.75 and up to $45, depending on what you get. I would say the average for most medium range is $8. Gratuities are 18%. You can do the math from there.

I can't believe $0.24 on an $8 drink is going to "seriously" spoil your fun. Besides, the crew works very hard to earn that $0.24. If you're going to drink enough for $0.24 to make a difference buy the drink package. That's what we do. And we give gratuities to bar staff over and above what is included in the drink package. Maybe that's why we always get exceptional service!

To be honest, I don't know. But, it should be 18% if it is not.

Yes, pouring a shot into a glass sounds very labor intensive.

More expensive than what? The gratuities are actually 15%. If that's too much for you, perhaps you should consider a different type of vacation.

How much it racks up depends on how many shots you do, right?

[iluvit!]

Isn't 15 percent of $8 actually $1.20? The shot is then $9.20.

Difference between 15% and 18%

3% (18% - 15%) x $8 = $0.24

Is that a typo? Grats on bar bills are 15% - not 18% and automatically added

[pennielz]

Yes, pouring a shot into a glass sounds very labor intensive.

 

Unfortunately, they don't just pour shots nor does a customer just order shots. Besides, who do you think preps the bar, cuts the fruits, washes the classes, stocked the bar, etc? Oh, and don't forget they have to deal surly, demanding passengers.

And that would be why they need to add the gratuity on for you...

 

Not for nothing, but if you plan on pounding shots you should consider the drink package. For the price of a couple of beers and a few shots per day, you could purchase the drink package and drink all you want.

[jakenashleysmom]

No doubt about it. I'd cancel the Cruise!

I haven't asked others to. Please show me where I have. I admitted I wasn't sure if it was 15 or 18 and stated my opinion that they deserved 18. I never asked anyone else to give 18. I'm just glad RCI requires the 15%, otherwise most would give very little or nothing
