Thanks for that - I have managed to travel to most of Europe over the last fifty years or so, although Lichtenstein is on my hit list ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you understand the need for tips to survive, why have you made so many posts in this thread? You seem to want to disagree with everyone, and prove that only you have the right answer.

Waiters had to pull their tip out. Talk about feeling uncomfortable... Guess the cruise line. Tactless to be sure. "Carnival"(the guess, I imagine) certainly does not have the tasteless pax all to themselves. We've seen it on luxury lines as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbtan Posted November 14, 2022 #107 Share Posted November 14, 2022 We leave the auto tip on & tip our stateroom attendant & waitstaff(if traditional dining)We base out extra on the length of cruise & overall attention to detail. All staff we have encountered deserved extra, except our head waiter on the QV. He was never really pleasant at all on our cruise. On the last night I had the Lobster Thermidor. It was tiny. 2 bites & that was it. I asked to have the Beef Wellington & was refused.I still tipped him along with the asst. waiter. The asst waiter got twice the tip, however. He did most of the work & was cheerful throughout the voyage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
