Lawn club Grill: Tips not included in price

[Algebralovr]

Note that the receipt says "Additional Tip" so that you can leave extra if you wish.  The base gratuity is included.  

For those dinners that are pre-booked (and pre-paid) no receipt is even brought to the table to be signed unless the diner ASKS for a receipt, since it has been pre-paid.  The reason?  Guests complained they thought they were being asked to pay again.  This was explained to me by the M'D in the LCG a couple of years ago.

That makes sense for dinners bought pre-cruise. (Tho I've been told cash tip is split among the wait staff of that restaurant instead of that particular waiter keeping it.)

 

For dinners I booked on board (thus haven't paid for yet), it's been inconstant about the check.

 

I always ask if there's something for me to sign.

sometimes the answer is no, other times I'm presented the check.

(All specialty dinners I've eaten are discounted.

and I don't buy the dining package since it's cheaper to buy individual that day depending on how desperate they want to fill seats)
