vicky3vicky Posted October 27, 2022 #26 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I don't get the Cheers package, and only pay for about 3 or 4 drinks per cruise. I tip an extra $5 in cash per drink. I was wondering, though, how do I go about getting my free platinnum drink if I don't want to eat the sea day brunch, just get my drink and run to the Lido deck. Is there a long wait/line or an area where I can simply grab my drink and run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djptcp Posted November 10, 2022 #28 Share Posted November 10, 2022 We never get the drink packages unless free (on Holland America) but we always tip $1 for every drink we order. The crew appreciates it and they tend to look for us just when we need another drink. I usually get free drinks in the casinos and tip there also.

Rare sid_9169 Posted November 10, 2022 #29 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I have a habit of tipping a dollar per drink, and I get the Cheers package (or the "whatever they call it" package on other lines) I also usually tip the bartenders that I frequent a $20 at some point during the cruise, just because.

WKUTopperFan Posted November 13, 2022 #33 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Tip early and tip often with Free Drinks Everywhere. The bartenders and servers are taking care of us... it's our responsibility to take care of them. Yes, we spend a large sum in the casino to earn this comp, but the bartenders and servers have no skin in that game. Tip til it hurts!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watsor1 Posted November 13, 2022 #34 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I always tip a dollar for a drink anywhere on the ship, even when I'm paying for each drink. On our last cruise, I had bloody marys for breakfast (casino free) and tipped a buck for each. I couldn't keep that server away from me and he started bringing them without me asking. He made a lot and so did Carnival Casino. That was one EXPENSIVE cruise, but memorable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew B 58 Posted November 13, 2022 #35 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I tipped extra when the bartender had to make the drink. More when it is greater effort (Alchemy drinks, Pig & Anchor Bloody Mary…). If I was just getting a bottle or can handed to me, I figured the included tip was sufficient.

pe4all Posted November 13, 2022 #36 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I always hand a dollar to the server when I hand back the signed receipt. After one or two times the waiters come over constantly to see if I need anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
