Diamond Drink benefits

Just received the email that the Drinks will be on our sea pass card for our Allure sailing October 5 2014. According to C & A I spoke with on Friday, all ships will on the new system by mid September.

I was really shocked actually... yes, just the one bar server, others provided service with no comment, but that one actually asked for a tip, and when I pointed out that the receipt indicated the tip was included, said sarcastically (and frankly, hostile-ly), "oh yeah, I work for free."

 

On the positive side, if this embarrassing event hadn't happened, I would never have known that tips weren't included in these free drinks (I thought servers could submit their receipts, with their names on them, to get their share of tips, as I imagine they must for the drink package service with tips included). Of course, he could have explained it nicely rather than insulting me...

 

I didn't "turn him in" but the experience did make me take my time to go to guest services and c&a to request that they add to the free drink letter that tips are NOT included, so no one else would make the same mistake as I did, and either unintentionally stiff the bar servers... or risk being embarrassed by an insensitive one!!

 

And no, the other servers, though they may be polite, are not getting anything for serving those drinks... they are indeed "working for free".

There have been many threads about tipping the servers in the DL/CL, so if one tips there, it would reason that one would tip the servers who accommodate the drink voucher.

All folks do not tip in the DL/CL and I never ever heard a sever to ask for a tip.

We got a notice from RCI that the 3-drink vouchers are available on Freedom for our Nov 23 cruise.
