Rare island lady Posted April 27, 2018 #251 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I have tipped the first waiter 5-10 dollars first drink and got mediocre service.Now it is $1 a drink to whoever serves us and service is very good.

Rare island lady Posted April 27, 2018 #257 Share Posted April 27, 2018 You don't need to justify the number or the type of drinks you and your wife enjoy in the DL to anyone! Enjoy. Agree.

Rare island lady Posted April 27, 2018 #260 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Graham, I love your pics of you and your lovely wife! I was wondering about the background in the first one in front of the window; is that a waterfall and is that your home? It looks like a wonderful place! DH and I also enjoy meeting people (and the freebies) in the DL, tip $1 per drink, and sometimes have no problem dropping $10 in there. We tend to stay longer if we are having a good time, which we usually do! We are a friendly and social couple, who enjoy meeting others. Maybe Rory keeps more to himself?:rolleyes: My lemon drops and his Hennessy usually go down pretty easy!! Cheers to all!!:cool: And I look forward to enjoying your company soon also! :D:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Kestrel using Forums mobile app I used to love a big Porterhouse but in recent year a bone in ribeye for me. If your in Orlando, you should try the old Charlie’s Steakhouse on OBT. They opened a new one on International Drive But just not the same. Berns in Tampa is one of the most highly rated Steakhouse’s in Florida. Longhorns is like Outback or Texas Roadhouse, a chain franchise. We think longhorns adds too much salt. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John&LaLa Posted April 27, 2018 #270 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Just how out of my posting did you get I was concerned. I could care less how many drinks someone has. Except in cases that it was an inclusive cruise (drinks included), it does seem odd that someone would sit in one place, the DL, for the length of time to consume 5/5 drinks. So many other things to do on a cruise but we all know there are some who take a seat in the DL for the entire cocktail hours. Which is their thing, not mine, and nothing wrong with it. But the story does change often... Sent from my iPhone using Forums Seriously, I can down 3 Cape Codders in 30-45 minutes.
