Could be looks similar to what we received on Wonder.

taglovestocruise Posted September 23, 2023 #54 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Google is our friend. Google Bard is a better friend. do bartenders on a royal Caribbean ship gets tips from a voucher drink View other drafts Yes, bartenders on a Royal Caribbean ship do get tips from voucher drinks. However, it is not entirely clear how much they receive, as Royal Caribbean does not publicly disclose this information. Some Cruise Critic community members have speculated that bartenders receive a portion of the tip pool, even if they do not have a signed receipt from the guest who used the voucher. Others believe that bartenders only receive tips from voucher drinks if the guest specifically tips them in cash. Regardless of how much they receive, bartenders on Royal Caribbean ships appreciate tips, as they help to supplement their base salary. If you are able to tip your bartender, even if it is just a dollar or two, they will be grateful. Here are some tips for tipping bartenders on a Royal Caribbean ship: If you are using a voucher drink, consider tipping the bartender in cash. This will ensure that they receive the tip directly. If you are ordering multiple drinks, you can tip the bartender at the end of the night instead of after each drink. This will save them time and make it easier for you to keep track of your tips. If you are satisfied with the bartender's service, you can tip them more. A good rule of thumb is to tip 15-20% of the total cost of your drinks. Remember, bartenders on Royal Caribbean ships work hard to provide you with a great experience. A small tip can go a long way in showing your appreciation.

Morecruisesplz Posted September 23, 2023 #59 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Yep, no tip on voucher drinks. Sharing in tip pool is not the same as receiving a tip from the person using the voucher. And, if it's a zero receipt any compensation from the employer calculates to zero. The 18% info printed on the receipt is probably on every bar receipt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adieu Sorry you are confusing the standard drink receipt verbage with what happens with a voucher drink. A dollar or 2 for each of 5 drinks a day isn't enough for me to take a chance on the hardworking bartenders not being compensated. It's not like any of them are over paid.

How do you handle tipping for these drink? Opinions vary on this, but I'd say: - If you're paying for the drink, the 18% gratuity is added automatically. I feel comfortable with that being "enough". - If the drink is free and no automatic gratuity is included, I feel it's right to add $1-2 for the bartender, who, otherwise, is working for free. I'd add $1 if he's just handing over a beer, $2 if he's mixing up a cocktail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually when I find something for someone who's too lazy to look it up themselves, I mention Google when I supply the answer, especially on FB. Of course, there's always the ones that are looking for how to get away with something. There is something the Disboards (Disney) do that I like a lot. They do not allow any talk of breaking Disney's rules. It keeps a lot of the arguing down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluecruise456 Posted January 24 #75 Share Posted January 24 I do not have a drink package or diamond voucher. I am using my cabin card to order a gin and tonic - do I get a paper receipt showing just the drink cost and the tip automatically added? If no paper receipt does the drink cost plus tip (assuming 18%) show up on my cabin bill? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
