Wow, you must think you can embarrass those who tip less to change their minds.

No one mentioned trashing a cabin... just a list of what an attendant does. Impossible to complete in 5 minutes.

If not for the smoke...

I'd like to see you make the beds, refill the ice bucket, clean the bathroom, replace tiles on the floor and make an elephant towel animal in less than 5 minutes.

Well, some posting after you disagree vociferously.

I have never seen staff on cell phones. I'm guessing there is some confusion here. Maybe the ship phones look like cell phones to some but even those are rarely seen in use. And is pretty surprising that a world traveler today would do so without a cell phone.

Not just from you, Carol, but this is a common refrain on CC. Question: when do you feel that the MDR tip is not justified? Say you are on a B2B or B3B and week 1 you have a fabulous wait staff. But they are going home. You tip big, hoping to see them again some day. And you praise the headwaiter on training, tip extra also and ask for the same table and another great waitstaff the following week. But 2nd week not only do you not get the same table but the waiter and assistant are the opposite of week one. Slow service, wrong food served, never asks if food is ok, drink refills do not happen... just really bad. The new headwaiter says they are as good as he has. So you bite the bullet, book specialty dining for the rest of the cruise and back to excellent service. You tip above and beyond because of service and food are above and beyond. But in this hypothetical situation you still say leave the MDR tips on auto as scheduled?

On the other side of the coin, why would suggest that the OP tip MDR staff who provide absolutely no service in this situation?

21 days is longer.

Congratulations!

I was talking general terms. No Algebra needed. Let's settle on "almost double" with cash tips from the additional cabins.

Yes. You pick am or pm.

Sure but with 1x day its roughly the same amount of work with double the pay. Who would not want that.

Well, thats 2 or 3 for sure. Must be all of them unhappy!

But your post was still an assumption. Say you were in line with 100 people and they all were overheard removing tips, that leaves 2500 that you have no idea about.

So you were removing tips too? Snark isn't your best look.

So they say. Who wouldn't like higher pay?

No one knows what the people in line are there for. You are making assumptions that quite possibly are unfounded.

Good luck with that.

If something I am about to eat could kill me, you better believe that I'm going to know how it was prepared. Its no one else's responsibility.

I see some arm twisting and begging on deck still. Most probably by parents.

Compass is now on the app.

Oh, I understand. IMHO you should have specifically asked for a steak on a clean plate. You accepted what they offered without insisting that the understand your situation.

Didn't explain well enough.

Except for the 1/2 that is bacon, steak and desserts!
