lucky1ns Posted January 12, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Will there be a separate bill at the end for the tips added to drink purchases with the drink package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CaptainBazz Posted January 12, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 12, 2023 No...the gratuities get added when you purchase the drink package. Shows up when you go to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysail2 Posted January 12, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Most people give the server a tip when served the drink, even though gratuities have already been added when purchasing the beverage package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unless you are presented with a $0.00 bill and you decide to add a tip. As was said, gratuities were included when you purchased the drink package but many of us give the server/bartender a cash tip or add a tip to the payment slip when served.

Rare Thisguylikestocruise Posted January 12, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Got the deluxe beverage package for my first time. Is there a receipt to sign after each transaction? Also, can you carry a bottle of beer over to Sorrentos to have with pizza, or does it need to stay at the bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser_1977 Posted January 12, 2023 #6 Share Posted January 12, 2023 @Thisguylikestocruise You can take your drinks with you. However, you can also just order a beer when you're seated, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you do not need to sign for a drink if it within the package...if it exceeds the price limit you would have to then sign for the difference. You can carry drinks wherever you want...they won't actually give you a bottle but will pour it into a glass. Alternatively you can bring the pizza to where you are sitting.

You have already paid 18% gratuity on the package. If you want to tip more, $1-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no standard if you have a package since you already paid for tips when purchased. It’s up to you if you want to give an additional cash tip but there is no expectation that there will be a tip and most people with the package do not tip extra per drink. If a bartender goes above and beyond, I will tip an extra $1 or $2 but not on every drink. At the end of the cruise, I usually tip a couple of bartenders $20 each if they were my go to bartenders.

Ret MP Posted January 13, 2023 #13 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Because I have a special place in my heart for MOST of the crew on a cruise ship, when I get a drink I always try to make sure the server gets at least a total of 20%, which means I always leave an extra tip. However, it is never less than a buck, I usually try to get a couple hundred dollars in 2 dollar bills before I cruise, so often the minimum of a buck is actually $2.00 and above by 2s. Only exception are bad servers. By bad, I mean, unfriendly, uncaring, unwhatever. I don't necessarily consider speed, especially if the venue is busy. But, as I said, 20% + is my desired goal. I consider tip cash as disposable money for the hard working crew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Thisguylikestocruise Posted January 13, 2023 #14 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Can you use the drink package at specialty restaurants without buying their food? I see Wonderland, Playmakers, Izumi have their own unique drinks, plus there’s Giovanni’s wine bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
