meb92 Posted March 28, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I will be taking my first cruise as an adult with Princess this year. I plan to buy the all-inclusive beverage package, which includes 15% gratuity. I have been wondering about tipping etiquette. For example, if I am sitting on the pool deck, and drink waiters come around to take orders, is the norm to still tip, or do I not worry about it because of the 15% already added?

cheeseclan Posted March 28, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 28, 2016 It is already in there so no need to tip extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted March 28, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 28, 2016 No need to worry about it. Of course you can always tip more but really no need. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted March 29, 2016 #4 Share Posted March 29, 2016 You will have paid the tip when you purchased the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiters tend to come around on a more regular basis if you give them something extra, but it is certainly not required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted March 29, 2016 #6 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Welcome to Cruise Critic! :) There is no need to tip extra since your tip is included with the "Liquor Sticker" (All Intensive Beverage Package) . When we have a drink waiter who has taken especially good care of us for several days, we'll tip extra mid-cruise. ;) Enjoy! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
