Murphy&Bailey Posted October 22, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I know that you pay an extra fee for the speciality restaurants but do you have to tip the waitstaff too? Thanks, Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbeagle Posted October 22, 2009 #2 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I know that you pay an extra fee for the speciality restaurants but do you have to tip the waitstaff too? Thanks, Carol We always tip extra because we get such good service. But no one is required to tip. It all comes out of the tipping pool at the end of the cruise.

Pia1913 Posted October 22, 2009 #3 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I know that you pay an extra fee for the speciality restaurants but do you have to tip the waitstaff too? Thanks, Carol Some do. Some don't. Very interestingly, but on the Coral, there was no place on the check to write in an additional tip. (Sabatini's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uppitycats Posted October 22, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Some folks swear that the waitstaff in the speciality restaurants do their job better there than in the regular dining venues. I didn't find that to be true. Since all the waiters/waitstaff are already part of the tipping pool, regardless of whether they're serving you in the MDR or in the specialty restaurants, I generally don't tip extra.

SeaUl8r Posted October 22, 2009 #5 Share Posted October 22, 2009 We always tip about 10 bucks but we make sure to use cash. This way the waiter can keep the tip to himself if he/she choses. We always feel that we get more attentive service in the specialty restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treven Posted October 22, 2009 #6 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I also leave a cash tip; generally $20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tak8 Posted October 22, 2009 #7 Share Posted October 22, 2009 If the service is good, I will leave a tip normally $20.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
