Personal decision.  The waiter and the assistant waiter will be there the whole time serving you course by course. Took well over a hour and half.  Beautifully done.  We tipped the waiter 20 and the assistant 10.

Thanks, about what we thought!

Expected? Nope. Appreciated? Of course. How much, if any, entirely discretionary...

Hi -

Still on it Joe, having the dinner tonight with friends on our aft balcony, weather looks like it will cooperate!  Back to Lauderdale Sunday.

It's included in the up charge. You already tipped for the meal you're not having elsewhere in the daily auto gratuity, you tipped a second time in the up charge for balcony dining and you want to tip a third time? Does it ever end all this tipping!

We did the $30 and $20 for the wonderful attention we received on the Regal earlier this year.

Are the standard balconies on the Regal large enough Ultimate Balcony Dinning?

 

Thanks!

Oops . We hope that you have a great dinner tonight . We forgot that you will in Fort Lauderdale Sunday  There's a cool front moving down so it should be upper 60's and a high of upper 70's on Sunday  The Zuiderdam will also be in on Sunday which will be our next cruise in a month to the ABC's . Here's a look at our aft balcony on the Z dam . Me may need the covered balcony to watch our sun exposure and keep the room cool . Have a great trip and how's the cabin and cruise been ? It will be our first full suite on a Royal Class on the TA in April .

 

 

 

This is our 2nd full suite on the Regal. Prefer this one because of the balcony, which is huge, but not covered. We moved our Sky cruise next April to aft on Dolphin deck because it is covered. Since last year they have stepped up suite amenities including large thick towels, terry cloth robes like X had in its suites, slippers. The room was ready at 11:30, and the concierge lounge had much nicer snacks and drinks. Our room steward has been excellent. Will let you know how the balcony dinner turns out.
