JF4300 Posted August 29, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Can anyone tell me if you a gratuity is expected at Portofinos. If so is it added to your seapass card or cash? Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise-Nut Posted August 29, 2004 #3 Share Posted August 29, 2004 It does state that the tip is included but we have always received great service so we always tip an extra $20.00 for the 2 of us. I thing they work extremely hard for the little they make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich And Sylvia Posted August 29, 2004 #4 Share Posted August 29, 2004 We left our server $20 in cash. The service was top notch and we had a great time. Dinner in Portofino's was a 2 - 2 1/2 hour event - it's not just a meal. We really enjoyed it and we'll do it again. I recommend you book early to get the day and time you want. You won't regret the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonya2004 Posted August 29, 2004 #5 Share Posted August 29, 2004 We too tipped extra for the excellent service received in Chops on the Mariner in January and asked our servers if there was any difference between putting them on the sea pass and cash. They told us if it were on the sea pass,it was split between all the wait staff in Chops and if it were cash, the servers that directly waited upon our table would split it. We had all brought cash so that was no problem. I am not saying that was true or would be true all of the time but only that that is what we were told. Has anyone else heard that?

I find it odd that Royal Caribbean can't seem to give a straight answer to this question. When we ate in Portofino's earlier this month, I had intended to leave cash, but forgot to bring any (:(another senior moment strikes!), so I just put the extra tip on my SeaPass card. They ALSO charged me a gratuity on the CORKAGE FEE. But I've already complained about that in my review.......:) Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
