maywell Posted August 16, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Not to be off-topic - I can understand NCL and Oceania at Great Stirrup, but how did MSC gain access? Just wondering what kind lease agreement did they sign up to? :confused: Edit- regarding the difference (which I know I going to get wrong) between the Service Charge and Gratuity / Tip (I personally believe is no difference because auto tips are services charges) - The Service charge is daily fee charged against the account for such staff as complimentary dining and room steward while the gratuities/tips is given not out of obligation but for 'going the extra mile' especially to services not cover by the DSC such as butler or youth program staff. http://www.ncl.com/faq#tipping http://www.ncl.com/faq#service-charge Edited August 16, 2015 by maywell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maywell Posted August 16, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 16, 2015 You've just blown your best quiz question no CCer could ever answer.. ;) No.. because the next question is - Will NCL holdings ever buy MSC or stake in it? Or will MSC buy NCL Holdings or a stake in it? :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixesandeights Posted August 17, 2015 #17 Share Posted August 17, 2015 What is the difference (cite source) between a Service Charge and a Gratuity/Tip? Gratuity is optional and a Service Charge is not. There are also differences in how taxes are applied to each. http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/business/Service-charges--gratuities-and-tips-and-why-you-need-to-know-the-difference_9461924 6&8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
