JimmyL Posted May 15, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Contemplating the unlimited dining package for $199 (hoping it goes down as we don’t sail until 4/26/20) What do most of you do for tipping each visit at one of the restaurants? I’m also assuming the 18% is added in the beginning to the package ? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted May 15, 2019 #2 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I didn't think they added the 18% to dining purchased pre-cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ourusualbeach Posted May 15, 2019 #3 Share Posted May 15, 2019 We just purchased a 3 night dining package and no additional gratuities are added, either at time of purchase or on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springfire Posted May 15, 2019 #4 Share Posted May 15, 2019 We had purchased a 3 night package on the Jewel in February and no additional gratuities were added. We also have a cruise on the Allure in Sept, they also did not add for additional gratuities for our 3 night dining package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price will decrease, and you will cancel this one and rebook the new price. Easy to do in your Cruise Planner. The price will increase, and you will quietly smile to yourself and congratulate yourself for being so perspicacious. I predict the latter is more likely than the former.

katiel53 Posted May 15, 2019 #7 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) We purchased our UDP last Black Friday for our cruise in June as week as for our Harmony cruise which we enjoyed in January. We did not have an 18% gratuity charge, but I did see when we were on Harmony making reservations for the restaurants, the price was higher and 18% was added because it was booked onboard. It appears the same 18% gratuity applies if booking a single restaurant onboard as opposed to booking online before the cruise. When we use our plan we tip a$5 per person for lunch and $10 per person for dinner. We have tipped more a few times when we had what I consider, extra special service.

Snit13 Posted May 15, 2019 #8 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Is this a new policy? I normally purchase dining pre cruise and always thought tips were included. Glad we always gave tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we always gave tips. The BOGO offer for next month says on the printout that gratuities are included in the posted price , just over £30pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
