tvguy72 Posted March 26, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Just back from my cruise. They just started a mandatory daily service charge for the Captain and officers of $7.50 per day, per passenger. Also there was a tip cup at gangway. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON AT NCL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck2810 Posted March 26, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 26, 2015 The hotel director pinched my wallet:eek: - I was going to tip him after I gave the Cruise Director his cut, but instead when I walked by them, the Captain grabbed me to take a photo. That is when the bastard did it....:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maywell Posted March 27, 2015 #18 Share Posted March 27, 2015 There's card readers with turnstiles at all entrances of the buffet and/or the sundeck before entering to make sure they get a part of the DSC, in case one decides to reducing it. And you know that's not funny, because it going to happen eventually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusin6 Posted March 27, 2015 #21 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I've been tipping the handrail polishers for years. Doesn't everyone? I've even become great friends with some of them even beyond the point of fb friends Last year we sponsored a crew member and family for citizenship as well. When I heard of his families plight " back home" how could I refuse? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggitt Posted March 27, 2015 #25 Share Posted March 27, 2015 The reason there's a fixed service charge is an important one: Our Crew (as are the crew from other lines) is encouraged to work together as a team I wonder why the speciality restaurant staff are no longer encouraged to work together as a team.
