We purchased the unlimited specialty dining package. What should hubby and I be providing for a group of 6 at each meal? I realize it’s not necessary to leave extra, but these people work so hard and I have been in the service industry in the past. Thanks! NOTHING MORE. Gratuities are at an all-time HIGH. Just my opinion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one a while back where someone essentially questioned the "morality" of locking in the existing DSC shortly before an increase was implemented... Yes, funny how people do all this extra tipping but rush to beat a $1.50 per day increase. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted March 17, 2023 #55 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Sadly, the service for our last three dinners has been so poor that I walked up to the port and left $ 20 for the cooks. The waiter got nothing "extra". (port = cooks service window) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph2017China Posted March 17, 2023 #56 Share Posted March 17, 2023 So I leave my auto grats in place plus I paid 18% for the specialty package. so I leave nothing, and do not feel any form of guilt over it. Plus I also work hard just like the staff on the ship. I keep the money for myself, and pay the customary amounts 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The built in 18% seems like a decent tip to us; hoping to hear more on this topic. I buy the UDP and it works out to $20 a meal, which is only $3.67 a person. I round up the tip to what it would be if I was paying full price. We also get a few glasses of our D+benefits and that has no tip added, so we put down more for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've honestly always been perfectly fine with the free food options on the ships, but this fall we got a killer deal on a star class suite on Allure. Obviously this includes the UDP. We also don't carry cash at all on the ship, as you can always add a tip to a drink receipt, even when using the vouchers. So the question, everyone keeps saying they "leave" x in tips, which to me reads that they plop down cash. Are you presented with a receipt that you can add a tip to?
