harley48 Posted September 29, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 29, 2015 What is the "Norm" additional tip you leave in the Cucina Del Capitano & Steak House. We have dinner reservations on The Sunshine for one night at each of these restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousey Posted September 29, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 29, 2015 We leave what we would in any other restaurant...20%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E&B Posted September 29, 2015 #3 Share Posted September 29, 2015 It's my understanding that the extra fee you pay is the tip. Leave extra if so desired, but not required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiderCruiser Posted September 29, 2015 #4 Share Posted September 29, 2015 The standard gratuity is added to your bill. Tip whatever extra you feel the service warranted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley's Mom Posted September 30, 2015 #7 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Cucina is $15 pp and we usually tip $5. For 2 of us. Sometimes more depending on the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObstructedView2 Posted September 30, 2015 #8 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Cucina del Capitano we tip $5 per person. The steakhouse we tip $10 per person. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzsnooze Posted September 30, 2015 #9 Share Posted September 30, 2015 It's included in the up charge so you've tipped already no need to double tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted September 30, 2015 #10 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) It's my understanding that the extra fee you pay is the tip. Leave extra if so desired, but not required. Incorrect understanding. Part of the $35 upcharge for the Steakhouse goes to CCL and an undetermined part is given to the waitstaff. CC posters have been wondering for years what the actual division is, and Carnival has never said. So a gratuity is included, and you are free to tip extra or not as you see fit.

Rare LMaxwell Posted September 30, 2015 #11 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Cucina del Capitano we tip $5 per person. The steakhouse we tip $10 per person. :) Why the different amounts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izmeeh Posted September 30, 2015 #12 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Are people really leaving 30% tip on top of the standard gratuity of 15% that has already been added? I understand another 5%-10% but 30%? Your waitstaff is lucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.Oceanlover Posted September 30, 2015 #13 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Are people really leaving 30% tip on top of the standard gratuity of 15% that has already been added? I understand another 5%-10% but 30%? Your waitstaff is lucky! when did they start adding the tip to the bill? I haven't been on CCL in a few years and it was never added before.:confused: Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObstructedView2 Posted September 30, 2015 #14 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Why the different amounts? Why?? Because Cucina del Capitano cost $15 per person so I tip $5 per person. Because the Steakhouse cost $35 per person so I tip $10 per person. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyancho Posted September 30, 2015 #17 Share Posted September 30, 2015 This question has gone round and round on the boards for years. Just let your conscience be your guide. Personally, I make a good living. I like to leave the impression that Americans are kind and generous people, so I tip accordingly. If I am being foolish, so what? It is my money.
