Steakhouse Question

[Taters]

Does the $35 fee for the steakhouse go directly to the staff for gratuities, or am I expected to tip after the meal?

 

Thank you,

It is included...unless you want to leave more for exceptional service.

If the service is good, we round it up to what a tip would be for a "real" restaurant, based on a 35 $ meal. If you eat at Ruth Cris this meal costs about 120.00 for two, not including wine.

And in my opinion the meal I had in the Steakhouse on the DREAM was at least as good, overall better than Ruth Chris.

We always do the same.

Hi Taters :)

 

The $35 fee includes an appetizer, entrée, dessert and the wait staff's

gratuity; additional gratuities are optional and may be extended in cash

or to the guest's Sail & Sign Account, at the guest's discretion.

The seating at the steakhouse isn't done as first or second. You make a reservation as you would at a restaurant. We have our reservation for 7pm on the Miracle.

I went to the site and was ask which seating I wanted:confused:

We had a 6:30 reservation on the Miracle. It was wonderful. We tipped a bit more extra as well, because they put us at a great table and the service was so great we thought we were the only ones in the restaurant!

If I am not mistaken, depending upon the age of your children, they are only allowed to dine before 7:00 PM in the Steakhouse. I had overheard this years ago while waiting to be seated and the young woman was talking to someone on the phone who was trying to make a reservation for later during the cruise.

From the Carnival Website.

 

With an elegant, but fun-filled, relaxed and somewhat casual atmosphere and a menu that includes steakhouse favorites, the Steakhouse is guaranteed to be a favorite dining spot. For a nominal fee of $35 USD per person, guests can take in the atmosphere and enjoy the amazing culinary creations of our chefs.

 

The fee includes an appetizer, entrée, dessert and the wait staffs’ gratuity; additional gratuities are optional and may be extended in cash or to the guest's Sail & Sign Account, at the guest's discretion. The fee does not include any beverage that is normally ordered through the bar service such as wine, liquor, soda and bottled water. The $35 USD fee also applies to children.

 

The Steakhouse is an alternative to eating in the Main Dining Room or the Lido Restaurant, open daily, 5:30pm-9:30pm.

 

The dress code for the Steakhouse is Cruise Elegant (Jeans permitted on Cruise Casual evenings).

 

 

 

 

 

I don't know how old your children are, but $35 in my opinion is really steep.
