hockeygal54 Posted April 7, 2014 #26 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Honestly...I really don't appreciate ANYONE or ANY ESTABLISHMENT telling me what I have to tip. I avoid as often as possible those who have adopted this stance. I totally agree and the "mandatory" bar tip has always aggravated me. Back in my "serious" drinking days I was exclusively a beer drinker. The fact that all the bartender had to do with me was pull the bottle out of the case and pop the top! That's his J-O-B right?????? It's not like he's having to use any expertise and mix it all up etc like a cocktail!!

MamaTene Posted April 7, 2014 #27 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Same hold true for me as far as the auto tipping/gratuity program for the staff. I WILL AND DO adjust it based on service I receive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorpe Posted April 7, 2014 #28 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I usually have a couple of massages on my cruises. And it was only the last one in Nov that the tip was added to the bill. I knew about it beforehand as it must have been written somewhere ( but not the Patters as I just checked them). I did take some $$ for a tip and the masseur pointed out tips had already been added. But being relaxed and very happy as there was no trying to sell anything extra to me I tipped the cash extra anyway :) Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petlover Posted April 7, 2014 #29 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Sounds confusing. Perhaps it should be stated " price includes gratuity" that's how I've seen it on other cruise lines...and make it uniform on ALL Princess cruises instead of hit and miss.

hehny Posted April 7, 2014 #30 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Most mainstream spas on land have auto gratuities. You can always ask for it to be removed and then tip what you want. Not surprised this is the direction princess is heading. Had one of the best facials of my life a few weeks ago on Royal. I tipped above the auto, she deserved it!
