Tipping at the buffet?

[CRUISING71]

Hello,

 

We have pre-paid our tip of $ 10 a day per person. I was wondering...this tip only apply for the seat down dinning and our steward that clean the room right?

 

So when we eat in the buffet deck...do we need to tip our waiter?

 

Thanks,

Tibbie

I was under the impression that part of the tip went to the buffet waiters. Sure they would be glad to take something extra though. I think most waiters work both areas.

Yes the tips are shared with the crew that works in the buffet as well, but you will notice that it some of the same servrs you see at night in the dinning room.... But if they go out of there way to get you something special tip them they deserve it.... 1 of the servers went and got me an omelet so i gave them a few bucks....

You do not need to provide a gratuity to the wait staff at the buffet. Part of your tips are shared among those people. You are of course free to provide any of them an additional gratuity, but you have no obligation to do so.

No tipping at the buffet, but I do take my plate over to the cleaning station.

They are already structured into your autotips, but NO ONE will refuse your money. Except maybe the ships officers.
