bjinouno Posted November 13, 2015 #51 Share Posted November 13, 2015 With drink packages 18% paid in full or was included before the change,, Isn't there still a 18% on all drinks while in your home port (or is that just NY port?) I have read where people were charged tax for their drinks before hitting the open water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read where people were charged tax for their drinks before hitting the open water Some ports charge a state tax. Don't think it is 18% but not sure exactly what it is. This would only be while docked in port. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusin'Cousins Posted November 23, 2015 #53 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Platinum dinner perk change to 1-1-1 affects all Platinum diners, regardless of when they booked. With all the changes... Just curious... is there an 18% gratuity charged to platinum members for the value of their free dinner? I would think not, but just want to know if any one has any clear answer for that question. Happy cruising everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious... is there an 18% gratuity charged to platinum members for the value of their free dinner? I would think not, but just want to know if any one has any clear answer for that question. Happy cruising everyone! I had my Platinum dinners on the Pearl in October and the Star in November and was not charged a gratuity either time. I did leave a cash gratuity on both occasions. I was not aware of the change to the Platinum dinners of 1-1-1 hence, as is our custom , we had a 4 course meal on both occasions which included 2 appetizers. One night a third was shared. We were not charged extra. Not sure if they had a means to do so as we were in Le Bistro and on those ships there is no à la carte dining yet so I am unsure how they would determine an extra price. It might also be important to note that on the Pearl we dined with a couple who had the UDP and on the Star I was hosting another couple for whom I paid the set price (as well as one add on).
