Coastal Kitchen Tipping

[vavasmom]

I do not want this to be a pro/con of tipping discussion. I have searched and not found an answer

 

We plan on eating multiple meals in coastal kitchen when we sail in 2 weeks.

Does anyone know if the servers are part of the tip pool (get part of the pre-defined service gratuity)?

 

I assume cash is the only option if I want to provide a tip since there is no charge - thus no receipt to sign - is that correct? I want to make sure I take enough cash

The server can bring you a zero balance bill so you can add a tip to your SeaPass account.

We got no receipts when we dined in Coastal Kitchen.

They are included in the server pool of tips that are charged daily. You can tip in addition to the regular daily allowance as well.

I place my SeaPass card on the table at the end of the meal and that is their cue to bring a bill even if it is for $0.

Thanks for the fast responses. In 14 days we will be onboard and I can't wait.

We were given a receipt since we ordered wine with dinner, so we tipped via our Seapass card.

My husband and I tipped in cash at the end of each meal we ate there as our server was different almost every time.

I would leave a cash tip depending on service,staff will know you are in a suite and probably think you have plenty of money.

Yes, $3 per person per day more expensive.

Tips are part of ship life and a thank you and $5 tip I'm sure would be much appreciated by the waiters just like in the Suite lounge or Diamond lounge.
