Just tip when you want and how you want. This is a discussion forum. People get to ask questions about cruise topics? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're given a bill for $500 for food and beverage. You tip $100 (20%). You're done. Seriously. It's that simple. The restaurant does the rest. You don't chase down the sommelier and give them a tip. The drinks and wine were on your tab already. What happens after that is none of your business and is between the employees and their employer. In most better restaurants if you gave cash to the sommelier separately, they'd try not to give you a funny look, but they'd drop it into a tip jar/box/whatever out of sight because they pool tips. This is not rocket science nor difficult. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I had to fire my last therapist. Well, let me say this. White wine *might* be acceptable if it is CHEESE popcorn. But not with regular popcorn. How about white wine with tomato sauce. White wine with steak? Why do I have a headache? 🙂🙂🙂🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
