Ret MP Posted September 20, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 20, 2023 It's no different than any other purchase of drinks or any other service provided, tip if you want. No rules, just right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taglovestocruise Posted September 20, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Try to always give a buck a drink, even in Specialty. Rarely to never tip the MDR waiter for getting drinks each time, always tip extra the last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you handle tipping for these drink? It is up to you if you want to tip or not. You are supposed to get a zero receipt that you can add a tip to but most waiters don't do that. You can tip in cash, some do just $1. It is up to you what you are comfortable tipping for a drink that costs $10-$14 typically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Baltic Posted September 20, 2023 #6 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I’m starting to wonder if people get paid to start tipping threads. There can’t be that many variations on the topic. 1 2 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you handle tipping for these drink? Tip a buck or two. If I am at a bar and the bartender is being very attentive, I tip as much as $5 per drink from time to time.

It's been my experience that adult beverages are delivered to the table by a completely different person, not the waiter or his/her assistant, if any. I'm assuming that they are part of the bar staff. So, I do tip them for each delivery, usually once as we are always in a hurry to get somewhere else.

Last two cruises on Quantum and Ovation the assistant waiter brought our drinks every night. Only asked for seapass card on first night.

Rare Tree_skier Posted September 21, 2023 #17 Share Posted September 21, 2023 When I've on the drink package I usually tip $1 per drink but with Diamond I upped it to $2. My theory is with DBP I was charge an 18% service charge already but with the D drinks I haven't paid anything so I figure the extra buck evens it out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Pavlov's dog, I am conditioned to toss in a bag of popcorn whenever I see one of these threads.... 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BND Posted September 23, 2023 #25 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) I love people who open threads that have tipping in the title and then complain about a new tipping thread. We tip $1 per drink and that's what I see most often see others doing. Edited September 23, 2023 by BND 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
