TRadle Posted March 10, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2007 When we order drinks from room service there is a tip included on the check. I’ve been wondering if that tip is for the bartender who made the drinks or the person who brings them to the cabin. :confused: Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted March 10, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Not sure but I always tip regardless when I use room service for food or drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRadle Posted March 10, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I added more to the check and it has been nagging me because I don’t know who got the tip; the bartender or the room service person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 10, 2007 #4 Share Posted March 10, 2007 The included tip for drinks goes to the bartender who made it--not the person who delivers it. The delivery folks are kitchen staff--not waitstaff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea-cruise Posted March 10, 2007 #5 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Try to bring a bunch of singles with you so you have them to tip extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqhacruiser Posted March 10, 2007 #6 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I know you can tip your bartender extra but isn't the tip included in the price of all drinks? I'm not sure why there is a tip showing on your bill. As for room service you should tip them no matter what they deliver and I keep a large pile of small bills close by so I can grab them quickly for room service. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBeaSea Posted March 10, 2007 #7 Share Posted March 10, 2007 There is a 15% service charge (tip) on every drink bill. It does not go to the bartender who made the drink, it goes into the tip pool. If you ordered the drinks from room service, tip the delivery person whatever you feel is appropriate. P.S. Anyone have any idea on how much of the 15% actually makes it to the crew? My guess is two thirds of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We brought about 40 in singles for our last 9 day. They came in handy for tipping on the ship as well as off the ship. Have a great cruise.
