CruiseLovah82 Posted January 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Do you get a receipt with each drink order if you have Cheers? Will my Sail and Sign account show where, when and how many drinks were ordered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncshp955 Posted January 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Yes and yes. They give you a receipt with every drink (probably since there is a line for additional tip) and it will show up on your final bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseLovah82 Posted January 15, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Great. Thank you for your response! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted January 15, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Great. Thank you for your response! While I have never done cheers, whenever I order drinks they have you sign a receipt, but no longer give them out (customer copy). Suppose it could be different for cheers but not sure why......

funinthesun1964 Posted January 15, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 15, 2017 i haven't been getting receipts with my drink purchases for at least the past year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted January 15, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 15, 2017 you are so wrong, how can they serve a drink without your signature? Every drink will have a receipt, I have never kept one, I just leave in the check presenter. Your folio will show $00 on the price line and lists what bar you drank at, not the kind of drink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every drink will have a receipt, I have never kept one, I just leave in the check presenter. Your folio will show $00 on the price line and lists what bar you drank at, not the kind of drink Really? So wrong? Every drink? Try again. Up until about a year and a half ago, when getting a drink with BB, I never saw a receipt so certainly never had to sign one. But they changed that :mad: Now if you are PAYING for the drink, then yes you will need to sign. However, my last cruise I asked one of the Bartenders if he was going to make me sign those stupid receipts after giving him $5 and he said, absolutely not :D. Needless to say I visited him a lot during the week. I believe they were saying they didn't get an additional copy of their receipt. Nowhere did I see anything about not signing one. Posters can correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, unless you have a deal with your bartender, you have to sign the bill but they don't give you a copy of it any more unless you specifically ask for it.

flips7 Posted January 15, 2017 #10 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I know on our last 2 cruises we never got a receipt and did not always sign. We used the same server all the time and I think he did not count all of our drinks. I know sometimes we had more than the 15 drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo4Life Posted January 16, 2017 #11 Share Posted January 16, 2017 .... after giving him $5 and he said, absolutely not :D. Needless to say I visited him a lot during the week. .... I was under the impression that a 15% tip was automatically added to your bill when you have Cheers? (over and above the cost of Cheers) Is it expected that you will give the bartender a tip for each drink? If so, how much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(over and above the cost of Cheers) Is it expected that you will give the bartender a tip for each drink? If so, how much? Yes, the tip is included in the Cheers package, but it's completely up to you how much and/or whether or not to tip extra. It is not necessarily expected but it IS appreciated, and I know I am remembered when I add fifty cents to a dollar to the tip. And the bartenders allowed me to purchase drinks for entertainers within my 15 a day (I would never be able to consume 15 alcoholic drinks in a day) instead of charging me separately for them.....

It is included, but if you take care of your bartender, they will take care of you [emoji6]. Never have to wait for a drink even when the bar is full! Actually, when they see me coming they know what I want and just about have it ready by the time I sit down [emoji4]. I bring cash for tips. I scope out where I'll be spending most of my time, chat up the bartender and if they're nice, give them a $5 or $10 and let them know they will be seeing a lot of me during the week. Then give them $1 or 2 here and there. If I'm not by myself, then we double it. It's not a lot, but it helps. If they are really good I tip more often as well as the last night before I leave.

We also tip well the first day and have found that it gets 1st class service and a heavy pour the rest of the cruise. I am however, shocked that a bartender knew you.......

notyours75 Posted January 10, 2018 #20 Share Posted January 10, 2018 On our 2016 Freedom cruise with Cheers we had to sign for each drink but I don't recall seeing each line item on my S&S account unless I added an additional tip, which I usually tip in cash if at all on Cheers. (a whole other thread). In fact our favorite bar tender had memorized our folio numbers and if they were busy would just make our drinks and then bring the receipts by later for us to sign. Our S&S account would have been like 10 pages long if each drink was a line item. I think I would have remembered that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProgRockCruiser Posted January 10, 2018 #21 Share Posted January 10, 2018 On our cruise on Liberty in Dec, we signed each receipt (adding an additional tip), but never received a customer copy. The account summary, IIRC, did not list every drink, just the total tips for each, um, "session". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
