Giving Butler gratuity at the start of the cruise

[Sea saw 56]

Actually, refilling the coffee machine is the room steward's job.

In the OS, the coffee machine is done by the Butler.

Yep, but many people here like to bribe.

 

:) I've been known to bribe on occasions. And I have also been bribed. Bribery can be fun and profitable.:p

I asked the room steward first - he said it was the butler who filled it and asked her to come in. I would have done it myself but it was locked and I couldn't. This was several years ago, so I'm glad it changed.

Maxi, our butler, took care of our Nespresso machine and its supplies in the Owner's Suite on the Epic Feb 2017.

Actually ignorant simply means you do not know something. Such as you were ignorant as to what ignorant means. :) I has been often misused to mean stupid or rude but that is NOT what it means.

 

 

Actually, if you have a smart phone, specifically an Apple phone, ask Siri for the dictionary definition of ignorant… Discourteous and rude is one of the definitions given, as well as your definition.

Well if Siri said it, it must be correct.........

No, Siri only provided me to a reliable link. Do you trust Webster?

You are correct. The butler is responsible for the coffee machine.

Contrary to popular belief, especially among iSheep, just because your iPhone gives you any given answer does not mean it is accurate... Your 'quote' in your previous however post supports what I am saying. Note that it said it was an "INFORMAL" use of the word which mean exactly what I said. Some people (incorrectly) use the word to mean what you say, but that is not what the word actually means.

 

 

An INFORMAL definition does not mean it is an INCORRECT usage. It is accepted.

 

Informal: Denoting or characterized by idiom, vocabulary, etc. appropriate to everyday conversational language rather than its formal written language.

 

Each year, words or phrases are added to Websters, (including additional definitions), whose origins can be either conversational or slang.

 

Like I said, go to merriam-webster.com.

 

Ignorant - synonyms - rude is listed.

 

Do you know what a synonym is?

 

Actually, you called out dodge9, not me, earlier in this thread.

We always split our planned tip, saying that "we know that you work hard and appreciate in advance your services". Always works like a charm for us to get the very best service.

What ever became of look that up in your "Funk & Wagnells" ?

 

And that Oxford dictionary who uses that thing with its high power magnifying glass tissue paper

thin pages and a need of a donkey cart to haul it around !

Feel free to remain ignorant! :)

 

 

And feel free to remain manaical. And don't humor yourself that I use the "informal definition".

The only time I ever tipped the first day was when we had the same concierge as just a few months previously. I wanted to give him more than the last time so I did it on the first day, in the suite check in lounge. He was very professional about it, just said "thank you for my early present!"

and we had a great cruise. Otherwise, I wouldn't pre-tip.

You didn't even get the generic form letter response?

 

No. First time using this feedback process. Our sheet went right in the box.

 

Oh well. It is what it is.

Been that way a long, long time. Can't teach an old dog new tricks........

You can teach old Dawgs new tricks ;), but not all the old dogs who just keep yapping and yapping on and on and on and on.......... :rolleyes:
