missyoulikegravy Posted July 26, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Typically we pre pay gratuities for our cruises but this time we booked the Ultimate Dining package and will be eating at a specialty restaurant each night. Should we 1) Pay as usual 2) Opt out entirely and pay individual servers a tip as.well as our room steward? 3) Other ideas? Thanks for your input :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted July 26, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Tip as usual since it covers more than your dinner waiters. If you wish you can tip your specialty restaurant waiters additional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 26, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I would keep the automatic tips in place. Some of your specialty restaurant fees go to tips You can add more if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurschick Posted July 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 26, 2017 We pre pay the full amount and take cash to tip the waiter in the specialty restaurants rather than add onto the tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 26, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 26, 2017 The gratuities cover ALL your servers for ALL meals! Breakfast, lunch...in all venues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnieBear Posted July 26, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 26, 2017 With NCL I think you you pay 18% within the upgrade in addition to your normal prepay (same for drinks packages) so you don't need to tip extra.
