We are sailing in May 2020 and looking to book some of the speciality restaurants.    Which night are usually the formal nights in the MDR? 

We’re book for May 2020.  I was reviewing the shore excursion, dinner plans and beverage packages.   I discovered that when you purchase the Classic Beverage Package they add on $22.64 as a service charge.  I emailed RC to see what the charge was.  I was told that they automatically add 18% gratuity to the package.   Question: do we get the gratuity if I use the Freestyle Drink machine and not go to a bar?    Seem like another way to make money.
