Extra tips

[Brigbound]

BS as people can remove until they leave the ship....:rolleyes:

Such a list would be totally useless and could only create problems - it therefore does not exist!(y)

 

 

 

Is there a list of people who don’t believe in the list listed along with the list of non-tipping list deniers? [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]

If you go to the bar to get drinks, slip the bartender the tip. If a waiter brings you your drink, do the same. Remember, money talks! Remember what Steve Martin said in "My Blue Heaven". "I don't believe in tipping. I believe in over-tipping!" A little goes a long way!

Google images can be your friend, or in your case your worst enemy. Go to google images, type in ..list of people who remove tips from crew.. and you will find several images of lists with hundreds of names showing who is a auto tipper, who is not on the auto tip list, and those who have removed the auto tip. On Royal anyone who removes their auto tips and then tips individually to a waiter or cabin attendant causes the recipient to turn in all tips to the pool.

Your Google seems to be different than mine - not a single list comes up.....:confused:

But the best advise seems to be to remove just before you leave the ship - so no worries!(y)

Not exactly on the same theme as the OP but then this thread is completely off the rails. I’m wondering what an appropriate amount is for an extra tip for bartenders as I’m out and about on the ship. I have the deluxe drink package and I know 18% has already been added but t I like to tip a little extra in cash. I’m sure this will help me get the service I want. $1,or $2 per drink or is there amount to that people consider good.

And if you are removing for bad service say...from your steward AND mdr staff for example and are not therefore tipping either of those people at all due to poor service...what happens then?

 

Does rccl bill their crew?

$20 should get you good service!(y)

Worked for me. I won a jackpot on second day on the Freedom of the Seas. Gave the server a $20 tip and never had to wait for a drink in the casino for the rest of the cruise. And yes, he did get more tips for continued great service.

Good point. The cruise line could provide a weekly or monthly statement of earnings of wages + tips. Or even provide an intranet site they can log on to. That would make more sense.

Why a daily printout of who has removed gratuities? What would they do with such info; not clean the stateroom or refill the shampoo?

You don't NEED to tip any more. And I find I get great service even without tipping extra.

 

Last cruise (got off yesterday), we were drinking caipirhnas. The pool bar guy and got talking about how they should be made. So he went into WJ and got actual sugar, instead of using simple syrup. I tipped extra for that, $1 per drink. Other than that, I did not tip extra for any drinks.

They know you and give you an extra consideration.

Maybe you should try tipping one day and find out for yourself.

We have had pool waitstaff bring us extra glass of rum, they remember what you like to drink. In the MDR, same thing, remember what you want to drink for dinner. We find that a $5 bill on the first day helps out greatly. Maybe another $1 on sea days here and there. We like the personal interaction with a few people rather than just ordering drinks and moving on. Just what we have found.

So you bribe them to win their favor? I like the good old way to be just nice and friendly (and give a reasonable tip thereafter when appropriate).

OK I can see that - if you are looking for "friends"!

We do not need any favors and do not drink ....guess we just like to move on - staff is just staff to us....:confused:

It irritates people who oppose and argue against tipping. Sounds well worth it.

It doesn't irritate me at all. I love when others overtip so I don't have to

I found two, but had to use this search "list of cruise ship passengers who remove tips from crew".

 

One was from a British tabloid "The Daily Mail", the other was from one of the Cruise Specialty Law Firms. Both looked like they were probably legit, and are not really a List of Passengers that drop gratuities. They are some kind of manifest that does include the charged gratuity amount. One includes a memo updating people who removed their gratuities. It is entirely possible that some of people preferred to tip in cash.

 

You were asking earlier about why would the list exist. The gratuities are part of the staff's payroll, when collected by he cruise line on behalf of the employee. I know they do not follow US labor law, but I am pretty sure the cruise line would wither be required, or at least want, to share with the employees a record of those transactions. This would avoid a lot of questions on payday. Even in US hotels, the housekeepers will keep track of their hours worked and question if they feel their paycheck is short. If the cruise line did not include this information, they would likely face constant questions from cabin stewards, who kept count of how many cabins they serviced. The report I saw does not seem intended to say "These people stiffed you", but is simply a record of what they will see in their checks.

 

At last that is how it appears to me.

It would be ok to give this information to the individual cabin steward for his cabins but a public list visible to all crew members would be against data privacy law. And each crew member receives a detailed pay slip with further information. You have to do the math at the end of the journey anyway.

You're assuming that the Cruise Line passes on the gratuities one-on-one which is not true!

 

They have a formula to distribute the bonus - pot the way they see it fit - there is no backwards calculation for the staff possible! :rolleyes:

The list you that you Googled is decades old!:eek:
