dleahy4444 Posted March 15, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I’ve been on a ton of cruises but don’t eat at the specialty restaurants that often. When we have done so, we have tipped extra, thinking that the automatic gratuities that are added daily to your account covers general staff and not the specialty restaurants. Am I reading other posts correctly? Is there a 18% gratuity already added to your specialty restaurant charge which is separate and apart from the automatic gratuities added daily to your account? Does anyone know if that 18% tip goes to the restaurant staff or is it distributed to staff ship wide? if I’m already paying daily gratuities and on top of that another 18% at the specialty restaurant then I will adjust the amount of cash tips accordingly. Unless the service is intentionally awful, I probably will still tip over the 18% but it’s good to know the baseline. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, perhaps it was not obvious, but you should see it when you buy the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just booked one dinner at a specialty restaurant, not a dining package, and I guess I just didn’t catch it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
