  1. The list is solely for the accounting department so they can override the automatic billing
  2. Then they must be aware that gratuities are optional and not guaranteed. My statement was they know what they’re guaranteed salary is, that is what you sign or do not sign the contract for. They still get gratuities from me, it’s just in a different format.
  3. Their laws do not dictate compulsory gratuity, the law dictates, pricing transparency. They must post they complete all in price.
  4. And Royal makes sure the crew gets paid for exactly what their contract says. If one isn’t OK with the guts red minimum wage, they should not have signed the contract
  5. Gratuities are ALWAYS optional, no matter what. Legality as no bearing in the discussion.
  6. I refuse to accept any of that responsibility. If you allow yourself to be manipulated, that’s on you
  7. Where do your family members live? I assure you, they are being paid a living wage as determined by that home county; otherwise they would not have signed the contract to work
  8. The crew IS paid a living wage, this is mandated and governed by international convention.
  9. It could only be a fare subsidy it it were ever part of the fare, alas, it is not.
  10. Hardly positive news. They were FORCED to make this change because the messaging function is next to worthless a not worth paying for. Also, no other lines joined in on this money grab, this made Royal look bad.
  11. Then it isn’t a gratuity, is it? What you just described is a salary subsidy. I refuse to participate
  12. If I don’t see them, they aren’t a tipped position No, I won’t be paying anyone more than o have in the past; what I tip is based on performance.
  13. It states at the bottom of your Diamond drink receipt that gratuity is included.
  14. The crew is VERY happy with the wage. They are paid very well for the economy where their money is spent.
  15. We aren't discussing "prices" we are discussing a salary supplementation scheme
  16. By all means, the most reliable source of information on the tipping culture is a crew member with a vested interest. Whatever, you live in your world, and I will live in the real world. cheers.
  17. And now you are quoting yourself. How many accounts are you running here? Get confused about which one you are logged on to when you quote and reply?
  18. Sooooo no, you didn’t read the post and are just spewing a bunch of nonsense Got it
  19. Did you even read the post that I replied to? It had absolutely ZERO to do with gratuities.
