Carnival chef’s table

[shiner6]

Does anyone know what the real cost of the chef’s table is? We just finished a fabulous meal on the Pride which we prepaid $98 pp. I received an envelope in my cabin stating there would be an additional 18% gratuity added to tonight’s dinner. Then at the dinner we were presented with another check with request for a gratuity. All of us at the table were confused and no one knew what was correct etiquette. Seems a shame to end such a fabulous meal on such a sour note.

18% gratuity will automatically be added

any additional tip is at your discretion

You have to sign the receipt saying you had the meal and then they do have a line for an additional gratuity if you wish to add more.

No one is forcing you to pay additional gratuities above the standard ones. It’s completely optional. So the answer to your question is $115.64 per person ($98 x 1.18), plus whatever additional you might want to give.
