Tipping question (if eating only additional cost dining venues)

[galavant3]

:confused: What would happen if the OP, if she didn't want to bother notifying the waiter in the MDR, just requested anytime dining in the first place? This way, in the event she changes her mind, she is open to dining in the MDR. (Of course, if she did that, she would then be expected to tip!!!:D)

 

I think when you choose any time dining the tips are automatically applied.

:confused: What I'm not understanding, Chotton, is why, if you are not using the MDR, are you tipping at all? Unless, of course, you are using the MDR for either/or breakfast and/or lunch? is this to cover your bases at all other food venues? Just curious . . .

 

He was tipping at the windjammer instead, because he received service there. (he wrote tipping box outside the windjammer)

This dead horse is not going to get any more dead even if we continue to beat him.

 

So either tip according to the cruise guidelines and have it over and done with or carry money around with you to "tip as you go". Whatever. For me it's just easier to have the tips put on my account and I can eat wherever I want to without having to worry about tipping for each meal.

 

And I will tip extra in cash at the end of the cruise for extra fine service whether it be my waiter or room steward or bartender etc.
