Family Cruise - Rhapsody, Questions

[Big Bob]

We will be a family of 18 on Rhapsody out of Galveston in June.

 

Have never been on RCCL ship.

1. Do you tip in cash or is it automatically added to your account?

 

2. Do you tip the same for all passengers, including children. Childrens ages are: 16, 14, 5, 5, 4, 2, 2, & 2? Any suggestions?

 

3. Is a tip added to bar drinks and wine at dinner?

 

4. In Galveston, can you unload baggage AND passengers at the same place and then park the car? Could you drop off a handicapped person at that location?

 

Thanks for any help.

1 - Either way - you can even pre-pay the tips if you would like

 

2 - I have always tipped the same for adults or kids

 

3 - tips are added to all drinks

 

4 - If you park at the cruise terminal(I think it is city parking), you have to drop off the passengers and baggage, then go park the car and take the bus back to the terminal. The Dolphin lot, you get on the bus will all the people and the bags and go to the terminal.

 

Have fun!

Until the Rhapsody again!
