Pointless semantics when the money goes into their paycheck. On RCCL, back of house and laundry are tipped positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ARE a part of the tipped position. If a server didnt tip out the unseen employees would make their life miserable believe me. I have had three daughters who worked in the restaurant business.

The tip is not seen as an incentive but now the tip is seen as an entitlement. Door Dash is now saying that if someone doesnt leave a tip when they order, the customer risks having their food delivery take longer. Tipping before service is delivered is crazy. This will turn door dash into a blind bidding system based on amount tipped before hand. But hey...this is the world that has been created by the people who brag about tipping I support not delivering to those who don’t put a tip, they get paid $2.50 to drive to the restaurant, wait for your food, and deliver it yo your door, $2.50 doesn’t cover gas. Now drivers know which orders aren’t worth their time or charity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as most restaurants in the US, many times all tips are pooled and then bus boys and bartenders get tipped out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am more sympathetic to small US restaurant owners if tipping was done away with and their ability to survive paying workers more in wages vs a cruise line that could afford to do so and not bat an eye Well said. And that multibillion company pays taxes in USA? Are Royal ships registered in USA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not most. And sure doesn't include the cleaning crew etc. Not a fare comparison to the insane amount that get tipped from cruise line tipping pools.

If you think the cruise line isn’t advertising those positions as tipped to potential employees, I don’t even know what to tell you. I’m positive they aren’t paying them tips for fun or benevolence.

I don't care. It's not positions we tip in the real world. When you tip the laundry staff at the next hotel you stay at, we will talk. When you find a job washing sheets for a hotel that also pays tips, we will talk. Till then I live in this world. Not everyone gets a tip because there employer's are too cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was rolled into the fare we wouldn’t be debating this. It would then be a choice in cruising for a price that is in your wheelhouse. I too do not like the model, and I also dont agree with paying 2 bucks an hour to anyone in our rich Western World. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
