tweak89 Posted January 31, 2023 #26 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Didn't want to start another Cheers thread so I'll ask here. Do the tips you leave for bar/coffee bar purchases go directly to the bar staff or do they go into the giant "tip jar" that is payed to everyone?

The 'extra' tips you leave on the ticket you sign (say, $1) go directly to that bartender. The standard 18% goes into the pool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were told by the bartender that extra gratuities in cash or adding to the signed receipt makes no difference, they are all pooled, not specifically kept by the bartender/server.

I have been told the opposite on Sunshine. Strange! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they're pooled... we left cash for drinks at the casino bar in the folder with the signed receipts and a different bartender came and grabbed the folder. 😲🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah might be different ways of doing things on different ships. I can't see why in either case they'd have an incentive to lie about it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ninjacat123 Posted February 2, 2023 #32 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I brought a bunch of singles to tip on drinks this past January cruise on Magic. I'm not sure if it was any different than the extra dollar I added on the receipt. It was a bit more of a hassle to remember the cash. I always bring cash for Room Service which they smile over. I wish we knew what was most beneficial to the staff, cash or added to receipt.🤷♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
