Awkward Tipper

Are there any tantric acts involved for that price point? :confused:

 

 

 

That is far from a truly expensive bottle of wine. While is at the top of my price range, I have friends who buy $1000+ dollar wines by the case.

What do the servers of those bottles do?

It depends on the age and type of wine.

I'll bet a mortgage payment not much different is done than the person serving the $30, $100, $400 bottles of wine, maybe a bit more swirling and sniffing.

 

I know, having a mortgage, how gauche of me. :)

Then I guess you owe me a mortgage payment.

 

Again it depends on the age and type of wine.

 

In the broadest of terms...

 

An old bottle of red will be handled and decanted via a basket, using a candle to keep an eye on sediment. However certain red varietals are never decanted, except on guests request if they are young.

 

A young bottle of white will be opened and serviced directly from the bottle. If it is sealed with a cork, that will be presented and left. If sealed with a Stelvin the cap will be pocketed and discarded. It is never presented to or left with the guest, unless the guest specifically requests so.

 

Need me to keep going on proper wine service? I doubt it, I could fill several pages.

[retinsp]

You nailed it with the tipping.

[nissach]

I'm guessing you have never had a $400 bottle of wine.

 

Nope and likely never will.

If you don't pre-pay the gratitude before the cruise, it is charged to your account on your first day, or at the end of the cruise?

it will be added to your s and s account during the cruise and your card will be charged when you leave the ship.

Then how can you claim it makes no difference how it is served?

because to a drinker it doesn't. end result is you get drinkable wine in a glass. whether it was poured, levitated, transported, rotated, or any other way of making the transfer to from the bottle to the glass is immaterial as long as the wine ends up in your glass.

Like, like, like!!!

[asalligo]

Never understood why people need their sheets changed everyday.

 

Really, you cannot think of any possible reason? It is a cruise after all.

Yes really. Do you change your sheets every night at home? Unless you never shower, I don't need new sheets daily.

Let me know the day you order a $400 bottle of wine. Until then, your comments are irrelevant as you have zilch to base any understanding on.

[ducklite]

Agreed. I have known a couple people over the years who changed the sheets daily, and I never could understand that. It seems so wasteful to natural resources to add that extra laundry. I have a friend who changes her pillowcases daily, I can almost see that, particularly for people who don't remove makeup or use a ton of hair products, etc.

Under what circumstance would you set foot on a Carnival ship?

[poobears]

Putting all extra curricular activities aside. If you've ever suffered from night sweats and it's not just hormonal women who get them. You will want those sheets changed daily. No way to get 2 nights out of them. So there are other reasons that require daily sheet changes, not just the obvious one :D

Ah, that was the third S; sweating.

 

Sex, Sand, Sweat.

Irrelevant to the point of proper wine service.

[ducklite]

If you sweat that much, see a doctor. If you leave sand in the bed you need to learn how to shower. As to sex, not sure how anyone typically makes such a mess that they need clean sheets daily.

Lol. That sucks
