If you don’t like the drink service you still can’t leave less than the automatic 18% or 20% amount. 😠 Dan No, my reply was to a post regarding land based restaurants pre printing “suggested tip” amounts on receipts.

Fair enough, however a suggested tip percentage (as in a land restaurant) is a completely different animal than a forced automatic tip % as on a cruise ship. The only time I see forced tipping in a land restaurant is when the party size is large enough to require it (which I understand). Land = you still choose whatever you want to leave despite any "suggestions" Cruise = You're stuck with what they dictate Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
