Wine-O Posted January 28, 2018 #785 Share Posted January 28, 2018 We always tip at the DL . We found out doesn't matter who you give the tip they put the money in abucket for everyone. I don't know if they pool the tips or not in the DL, but it does matter who you give the tips to. We try to sit in a section with the same server each night, give him a $5er to begin with, and our cups always over flow. Love the attention. ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted January 28, 2018 #786 Share Posted January 28, 2018 They pool tips on Serenade CL for sure, also on Oasis in both the DL and SL. Not sure about Blaze overflow Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagirl7143 Posted January 28, 2018 #787 Share Posted January 28, 2018 We have enjoyed the Celebrity elite happy hour for several cruises and find ordering more drinks not to be a problem. I sometimes tip a dollar with the first drink and they remember that. Well a buck will do it! Lol Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pencruise Posted January 28, 2018 #795 Share Posted January 28, 2018 40% off what? The discounted cruise planner price or the onboard price? I qualify for 40% off now and it still doesn't make me even think about buying it. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app I agree John - we purchased it on our 5 day Empress cruise last summer simply because there was no "lounge" and we were no way near breaking even - obviously we don't drink enough !!

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Ok, but the only question I would have is your baby brother only going immediately when it opens? Then they are almost always packed because all sittings and MTD are trying to use the lounge. My experience is if the lounges opens at 4:30 or 5 or whatever time, it is always busy, and if we go then we stand in the lounge and then about 45 minutes later people start to leave and you snag a place. The Liberty and Independence and other freedom and explorer class ships have a great DL, unfortunately it is small, but when first seating happens generally it is perfect the rest of the evening. That could be the case and why they are not opening over-flow lounges. I guess moral to the story if you want a drink in the DL before dinner don't book early dining.
